Alister E. McGrath Quote
Sehnsucht? The German word is rich with emotional and imaginative associations, famously described by the poet Matthew Arnold as a wistful, soft, tearful longing. And what of the Blue Flower? Leading German Romantic writers, such as Novalis (1772–1801) and Joseph von Eichendorff (1788–1857), used the image of a Blue Flower as a symbol of the wanderings and yearnings of the human soul, especially as this sense of longing is evoked—though not satisfied—by the natural world.
