Friedrich Schiller - Variety

Many are good and wise; yet all for one only reckon, <br /> For 'tis conception, alas, rules them, and not a fond heart. <br /> Sad is the sway of conception,--from thousandfold varying figures, <br /> Needy and empty but one it is e'er able to bring. <br /> But where creative beauty is ruling, there life and enjoyment <br /> Dwell; to the ne'er-changing One, thousands of new forms she gives.<br /><br />Friedrich Schiller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/variety/
