Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things.

Novalis

It is the final purpose
Of the world story,
The Amen of the universe.

Novalis

Imagination places the future world for us either above or below or in reincarnation. We dream of travels throughout the universe: is not the universe within us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. The mysterious path leads within. In us, or nowhere, lies eternity with its worlds, the past and the future.

Novalis
