Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays on Vocation There is, however, to-day for Paracelsus, who may stand as Browning´s type of young life stepping into its place in the field, this added note: not only is his life the one life that he has to give; but he ´devotes himself´ in an hour of world-change that is without peer in the story of man. It is, for that reason, of crucial importance that he should get a just picture of the whole field in which his life-work is set. He may then find the true place for his play there. He can better appreciate at once the breadth of the world-game in which he is to pit his skill and strength against the opponents of his team, the strength and character of the contesting force, and the greatness of the goal. If, with that in view, he stands on some ridge of contemplation to survey the human scene, the first effect will inevitably be one of bewilderment. The mind is baffled by the smoke and dust and the din of confused noises. This must be so in a world that has seen every foundation and buttress of its ordered life either shaken or actually shattered, and in which men everywhere find the old authority that ruled their lives either challenged or actually annihilated. Gradually, however, through the turmoil of peoples, half frenzied and half dazed among the ruins of the old world, he begins to catch the drift of things.
