Henry John Stock - The Uplifting of Psyche, 1905

"I hope that the confrontation between a newly arising world and the old forces will take more and more offshoots, penetrate into all domains of life, always fructifying anew, producing more blood linked pride, until the day when we can stand on the threshold of the fulfillment of our longing for a German life, until the hour when all wellsprings will unite into one great river of a Nordic German rebirth. That is a dream worth being taught and lived. And this experience and this life alone are the reflections of a presaged eternity- the mysterious mission of this world into which we were placed in order to become what we are." -Alfred Rosenberg, Munich, October 1931 Art: Friedrich Wilhelm Kalb (1889-1977) Once part of the personal collection of A.H.
