C'. 29. Woche (20. -26. Oktober)
|
Sich selbst des Denkens Leuchten
Im Innern kraftvoll zu entfachen,
Erlebtes sinnvoll deutend
Aus Weltengeistes Kraeftequell,
Ist mir nun Sommererbe---
Ist Herbstesruhe---
Und auch Winterhoffnung.

C'. 29th week: (October 20 - 26)
|
To ignite the light of thinking
so forcefully within me---
To live within the meaning
of the cosmic spirit's source of power---
This is for me:
The heritage of summer,
The tranquillity of fall,
The hope of winter.

X. 24. Woche (15. - 21. September)
|
Sich selbst erschaffend stets,
Wird Seelensein sich selbst gewahr;
Der Weltengeist, er strebet fort
In Selbsterkenntnis neu belebt
Und schafft aus Seelenfinsternis
Des Selbstsinns Willensfrucht.

X. 24th week: (September 15 - 21)
|
By constantly creating itself,
My soul becomes aware of itself.
The cosmic spirit strives on---
In newly animated self-realization---
And creates out of soul darkness
the fruit of my will---
The sense of myself.
