Systems
Splendidly did you construct
your sublime philosophical systems!
Heavens! how shall we eject
errors that live in such style.
Die Systeme
Prächtig habt ihr gebaut.
Du lieber Himmel! Wie treibt man,
Nun er so königlich erst
wohnet, den Irrthum heraus!
Science and Art
Genius a Gift
Born is the poet ’tis said;
and we add, the philosopher also.
For it is certain that truth
has to be formed to be seen.
