Friedrich Schiller, 1795 Poem

“Schön und Erhaben” (Beautiful and Sublime)

[German here]

1 There are two kinds of genius guiding you through life; 

2 Happy are you, when they, united, go helping by your side! 

3 With quickened play the One makes the journey shorter,  

4 On his arm, fate and duty become lighter. 

5 With joking and conversing, he leads you up to the precipice, 

6 Where the mortal stands, shuddering at the sea of eternity. 

7 Here the Other one, resolute and grave and silent, welcomes you, 

8 And with an enormous arm carries you over the deep. 

9 Never dedicate yourself to one alone. Do not trust the first 

10 With your dignity, nor the second with your fortune

— By Schiller, translated by Robert R. Clewis, July 2022
