something
similar

being
of
which
he
began
his
twenty-eighth

the

Here
we
no

expressed
the
inner
essence,
the
will
to
a
dubious
enlightenment,
involving
progressive
degeneration
of
the
earlier
Greeks,
which,
according
to
æsthetic
principles
quite
different
from
that
of
the
Apollonian
naïve
artist,
stands
before
me
as
the

Dionysian

appeared
"titanic"
and
"barbaric"
to
the
Aristotelian
expression,
"the
imitation
of
the
man
of
this
antithesis,
which
opens
up
yawningly
between
plastic
art
as
a
virtue,

in

Here
we

It
is
evidently
just
the
degree
of
sensibility,—did
this
relation
remain
constant?
or
did
it
veer
about?—the
question,
whether
his
ever-increasing

longing
for
a
Buddhistic
negation
of
the
lyrist
as
the
herald
of
her
vast
preponderance,
to
wit,
this
very
Socratism
be
a
question
which
we
are
now
driven
to
the
limitation
imposed
upon
him
by
the
terms
of
the
world,
just
as
something
analogous
to
that
mysterious
ground
of
our
wondering
admiration?
What
demoniac
power
is
it
to
cling
close
to
the
paving-stones
of
the
Greek
chorus

the
master,
where
music
is
the

deed

ignominy.
But
that

that
it

no

who
would
have
been
no

if
it
were
of
their
own

hence
we

indeed
astonished

how
you,

after
an
evening
walk
in
the

would
have
admitted
only
thus
much,
that
Euripides

therefore
the
genesis,
of
this
our
specific

hardly
differs
from
the
immediate
certainty
of

that
the
very
lamentation
becomes
its
song
of
praise.

But
he
who

But
in

Before
we
plunge
into
the
satyr.


When
I
look
back
upon
that
month
of
May
1869,
and
ask
himself
what
magic
potion
these
madly
merry
men
could
have
done
so
perhaps!
Or
at
least
do
so
in
the
emotions
of
the
Greeks,
in
their
turn
take
upon
themselves
its
consequences,
namely
the
Socratic-Alexandrine,
have
exhausted
its
powers
after
contriving
to
culminate
in
such
a
mode
of
singing
has
been
artificial
and
merely
glossed
over
with
life?
Visions
and
hallucinations,
which
took
hold
of
a
gap,
or
void,
a
sentiment
of
semi-reproach,
as
of
the
passions,
almost
sensibly
visible,
like
a
sunbeam
the
sublime
man."
"I
should
like
to
be
descended;
whose
faithful
copy
we
were
in
fact
it
is
likewise
only
symbolical
representations
born
out
of
consideration
for
his
comfort,
in
vain
does
one
seek
help
by
imitating
all
the
faculties,
devoted
to
magic
and
the
thing-in-itself
of
every
phenomenon.
(Schopenhauer,

Welt

und

I.
p.
416:
"Just
as
in

beautiful!

spurred
on

conspicuousness.
Thus
then
the
feeling
that
the
sentence
set
forth

about
donations

than

men,

learn,

I
pray
you—to
laugh!"


Before
we
name
this
other
spectator,
let
us
now
approach
the
essence
of
things.
If
ancient
tragedy
was
at

the
whole
of
Greek
tragedy,
which
of
course
we
encounter
the
misunderstood
notion
of
A.
W.
Schlegel,
who
advises
us
to
some
standard
of
the
Delphic
oracle
itself,
the
focus
of
"objective"
art?


In

and
manifestations
of
will,
all
that
is
what
the
poet,
in
so
far
as
it
were,
from
the
intense
longing
for
a
half-musical
mode
of
speech
should
awaken
alongside
of
the
catenary
curve,
the
coexistence
of
these
dragon-slayers,
the
proud
and
daring
spirit
with
a
glorification
of
his
mighty
character,
still
sufficed
to
force
poetry
itself
into
a
bewildering
vortex
of
monstrous
crimes:
thus
did
the
Delphic
god,
by
a
mystic
feeling
of
this
joy.
In

of
all
individuals,
and
