To K: You don’t stay at the threshold of things. On the contrary, your spirit is deeply suffused with poetry and philosophy. It was closest to me in these images of uncomprehended truth. What you’ve thought I think: what I’ve thought you will think or have already thought. These are misunderstandings that only serve to confirm the greatest shared understanding. Every doctrine of the eternal Abyss belongs to all artists. I name you instead of all the others.
Friedrich Schlegel, 1800
