On the occasion of having ascended the mountain top of the 'Brocken' Goethe wrote these lines in the visitors' book, quoting the Roman astrologer Manilius:
"Quis cœlum possit nisi cœli munere nosse?
Et reperire deum nisi qui pars ipse deorum est?"
"Who could know heaven save by heavenly grace, or find God if he were not himself a part of God."
