He's right. Poetry is the soul of humanity without a return to it there will never be a relivening of our enframed malaise. Prose is the rationalised society's art. Is it little wonder the Greek novel come into fruition in the late Hellenistic era?

Yes he's right. We won't see it, not in our lifetime, Bucko.

It's so over

poetry is condensed meaning, thats why it carried weight
we got memes now for that

Plato was right about poetry.

What about Music?

>It may certainly seem that our civilisation, to the extent that it fashions the artist in particular, can be given soul anew only out of the spirit of our music, the music which Beethoven freed from the bonds of fashion. In this sense the task of bringing the religion permeating this civilisation to the new, more spiritual civilisation which is perhaps being shaped by this means can evidently be granted only to the German spirit and we ourselves can only understand that spirit correctly if we rid ourselves of every false tendency attributed to it.

>Let everyone see for himself how the whole modern world of appearances which, to his despair, everywhere encloses him on all sides, suddenly vanishes to nothing when he hears just the first bars of one of those divine symphonies. How could we listen to this music with even a modicum of devotion in a concert hall of today (where Turks and Zouaves would certainly feel comfortable!) if the phenomenal environment did not disappear from our sight as mentioned above? In a very real sense, it is the same effect that music has on our whole civilisation: music extinguishes it as daylight extinguishes lamplight.

>Beethoven’s symphonies had already (as it were with non-conceptual sound) stirred in the depths what our thinkers and our poets had only dimly discerned: they understood, just as we do, the new religion, the world-redeeming proclamation of sublime innocence.

These are all in "Fraktur", though. Generally, you can find everything that is in the public domain somewhere on the internet, especially popular authors.

To find these, I looked up the German wikipedia article
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven_(Wagner)
and then looked for the books on
