Beethoven: Symphony No. 9...3/4/48..(Toscanini)

Our Yes towards
life from the
very beginning
carries within it
the Divine No
which breaks forth
from the antithesis
and points away
from what now was
the thesis
to the original
and final synthesis.
The No is not
the last
and highest truth,
but the call from home
which comes in answer
to our asking
for God in the world.

--Karl Barth
