Forty-first Week
January 13, 2008 - January 19, 2008
The soul's creative might
Strives outward from the heart's own core
To kindle and inflame god-given powers
In human life to right activity;
The soul thus shapes itself
In human loving and in human working.
=====
English translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch
Der Seele Schaffensmacht,
Sie strebet aus dem Herzensgrunde,
Im Menschenleben Götterkräfte
Zu rechtem Wirken zu entflammen,
Sich selber zu gestalten
In Menschenliebe und im Menschenwerke.
=====
The Year Participated translationby Owen Barfield
The soul's creative power
sent from the bottom of the heart aspires
the life of man with strength of gods to fire
for deeds -- for selves to grow into a mould
formed out of love for and things done for men.
