Fourth Week
I sense a kindred nature to my own: Thus speaks perceptive feeling As in the sun-illuminated world It merges with the floods of light; To thinking's clarity My feeling would give warmth And firmly bind as one The human being and the world.
English translation
by Ruth and Hans Pusch
Ich fühle Wesen meines Wesens: So spricht Empfindung, Die in der sonnerhellten Welt Mit Lichtesfluten sich vereint; Sie will dem Denken Zur Klarheit Wärme schenken Und Mensch und Welt In Einheit fest verbinden.
The Year Participated translation
by Owen Barfield
`I feel the very Being of my being,' so the responsive soul, which in a wide world rinsed with radiant sun with flowing light grows one; imparting warmth to mind's transparency, such is her will, so knitting man and world in unison.(provided with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner Press)
