This.

>Fie! fie upon this weak, effeminate age, fit for nothing but to ponder over the deeds of former times, and torture the heroes of antiquity with commentaries, or mangle them in tragedies. The vigor of its loins is dried up, and the propagation of the human species has become dependent on potations of malt liquor. >They curb honest nature with absurd conventionalities; have scarcely the heart to charge a glass, because they are tasked to drink a health in it; fawn upon the lackey that he may put in a word for them with His Grace, and bully the unfortunate wight from whom they have nothing to fear... They swoon at the sight of a bleeding goose, yet clap their hands with joy when they see their rival driven bankrupt from the Exchange... What might have risen to an eagle's flight has been reduced to a snail's pace by law. Never yet has law formed a great man; 'tis liberty that breeds giants and heroes. Oh! that the spirit of Herman still glowed in his ashes! >Set me at the head of an army of fellows like myself, and out of Germany shall spring a republic compared to which Rome and Sparta will be but as nunneries. *Rises and flings his sword upon the table.*

Before truth causes her triumphant light to penetrate into the depths of the heart, poetry intercepts her rays. No doubt the artist is the child of his time, but unhappy for him if he is its disciple! He must receive his matter from the present time, but he will borrow the form from a nobler time and even beyond all time. Live with your age, but be not its creation; labor for your contemporaries, but do for them what they need, not what they praise.
