jmd  21 Nov 2003 
In a letter to von Buttel dated 3rd / 05 / 1827, Johann W. von Goethe wrote the following:
    The Archetypal Phenomenon ( Urphänomen ) is not to be regarded as a basic theorem leading to a variety of consequences, but rather as a basic manifestation enveloping the specifications of form for the beholder. Contemplation, knowledge, divination, faith - all these feelers with which human beings reach out into the universe must set to work jointly if we are to fulfill our important but difficult task.

    in Goethe on Science: an anthology of Goethe's scientific writings , J. Naydler (ed.), Floris Books 1996, p106
...now which card sits well with these wonderful words of Goethe's?
