![“Schiller writes in a letter [to Goethe, 17 December 1795] of a 'poetic mood'. I think I know what he means, I think I am familiar with it myself. It is the mood of receptivity to nature and one in which one's thoughts seem as vivid as nature itself.” quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/051/ludwig-wittgenstein-582_december_schiller-writes-in-a-letter-to-goethe-17_1906986.jpg)
