*** The words at the top of this posting are from a poem by Novalis that we find in the novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen<\/em>. Rudolf Steiner read the complete poem at the founding of the first anthroposophical society in Cologne, Germany in 1912. At that time, Rudolf Steiner praised this poem by Novalis a kind of “motto for the anthroposophical movement.” Rudolf Steiner repeatedly hailed Novalis as the herald of Anthroposophy and praised Novalis as the guiding star for the anthroposophical movement . . ., and of course he pointed to the importance of Novalis in his Last Address.

Here is the complete poem.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
