A Look Of Communion

Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi, Edward Allwill's Collection of Letters, iv., Sylli to Clerdon, March 8, p. 394. In: Main Philosophical Writings and the Novel Allwill (McGill-Queen's University Press, 1994), trans. & edt. George di Giovanni.

Behold! nothing shall perish that directed a look of communion me; whatever gave me life and took life from me shall not perish—not as long as I last anyway!
