Excerpt from Die Harmonie der Sphären in Ciceros Traum des Scipio
Bahnen durchmessend mit melodischem Xlange den weit ausgespannten Raum erfüllen. Tief unten aber liegt die Erde, klein und unbedeutend, nicht größer als ein Punkt. Nehmen wir hierzu noch den Schwung und die Kraft der Rede, die unser Ohr bezaubert, so wird es uns erklärlich dünken, daß gerade dieses Stück in Ciceros Schriften zu allen Zeiten seine Be wunderer gefunden hat.
