Excerpt from The Disciples at Sais, and Other Fragments In the last years of the eighteenth century between two and three thousand students worked and fought and made love at Jena, as the manner of students is. As an apple encloses a core, so did this large academic circle enclose an inner ring of men who had taken it upon themselves to reform thought and taste in Germany, and these men possessed by the idea of Unity, whose passion, whose dream, and whose ideal was the realisation of the Unity of the Universe, were called by the world Romantics. They lived among the students and yet were not of them, existing in a fairy world of their own apart from life's ugly realities, lotus eaters feeding on flowers of poetry, art, music and philosophy, and distributing to the outside world, as a result of their eclectic culture, a new criticism, a new æsthetic and a new philosophy of life.
