ABSTRACT
The punctum saliens of every beautiful work, of every great or profound thought, is an entirely objective perception. But such a perception is altogether conditioned by a complete silencing of will, which leaves the person over as pure subject of cognition. The author's themselves have also stepped out of relations and have thereby become the pure subject of cognition. The wholly immediate, unthinking, but also unnamed joy excited in us by the impression of colors heightened by metallic luster, and even more by transparency, with stained glass windows, and even more by means of clouds and reflection from them at sunsetrests ultimately on the fact that here, in the most simple that is in an almost physically necessary manner, all of the involvement has been won by cognition, without any excitement of our will; thereby, one enter into the state of pure cognition.
