Hegel

[58] Hegel:

Break with the peace in yourself	Brich mit dem Frieden in Dir
Break with the values of the world	Brich mit den Werte der Welt
Not to be better than the Age	Besseres nicht, als di­e Zeit
But to be this at its best	Aber auf’s Beste zu sei

25 January 1962?

[65] For many, many years I woke from my dreams to a happy wakening – he was back to life, he had never died! You were already with us almost twenty years had gone by. Those we love with a child’s love live on deep and far and real into lifetimes of our own beloved ones in an other, and still on other generation, who do not know whence they feel the breath of life that assures them of a happy future, they can read it off the skis, they hear it in the morning of the feet on the play ground. For my gratitude for the love of my father still mingles with the sunshine in our children and grand-children’s lives.
