Alternate translation: All things impermanent; Are only symbols. The unattainable Here becomes action. The indescribable Here is accomplished. The Eternal Feminine Leads us onward.

Beautiful. Great reminder! So many deep philosophers and psychologists grew up learning this. It's a loss Goethe is mostly unknown to the Anglosphere.

Indeed, also a reminder to myself that I should read more Goethe!
