Anima

























Die Seele, die Anima, schafft die Beziehung zum Unbewussten. In gewissem Sinne ist es auch eine Beziehung zur Kollektivität der Toten; denn das Unbewusste entspricht dem mythischen Totenland, dem Lande der Ahnen.

The soul, the anima, creates the relation to the unconscious. In a certain sense, it is also a relation to the collectivity of the deads; because the unconscious complies with the mythic land of the deads, the land of the ancestors.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
