Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
(1772–1829) German poet, critic and scholar
Die Romane sind die sokratischen Dialoge unserer Zeit. In diese liberale Form hat sich die Lebensweisheit vor der Schulweisheit geflüchtet.

our apes their flights of fancy”

Context: Our snakes have shed their lightning,
our apes their flights of fancy,
our peacocks have renounced their plumes.
The bats flew out of our hair long ago. We fall silent in mid-sentence,
all smiles, past help.
Our humans
don't know how to talk to one another.
“All my life l have sought the essence of flight. Flight — what bliss.”
