Analysis of The Agreement
Friedrich Schiller 1759 (Marbach am Neckar) – 1805 (Weimar)
Both of us seek for truth--in the world without thou dost seek it,
I in the bosom within; both of us therefore succeed.
If the eye be healthy, it sees from without the Creator;
And if the heart, then within doubtless it mirrors the world.
