Page 202 - Der erste wahre und höhere eigentliche Lebensgehalt kam durch Friedrich den Großen und die Taten des Siebenjährigen Krieges in die deutsche Poesie. Jede Nationaldichtung muß schal sein oder schal werden, die nicht auf dem Menschlich-Ersten ruht, auf den Ereignissen der Völker und ihrer Hirten, wenn beide für einen Mann stehn.
