| Summary: | The opus of Stefan George, the German poet of a coming empire, has a lot of religious implications, not only Christian but also pagan and especially ancient Greek implications, i. e., first of all some structures of the mystery religions. George begins as a seer, becomes a myste and prophet and raises to a mystagoge (Mystagogos) to his followers and disciples. The coming kingdom will be an empire of art founded and emerged by language, better by a reformed and purified language. George feels himself as the speaker of the new speech, his work means the performance of the new reality and creates truth. The language is building the incarnation of the god and the god-becoming of man. The beautiful body of Maximin becomes the vessel for the divine and than salvation happens. The »Book of Maximin« builds the centre of George's poetic reaching the climax of religiosity in mystical and real sense. The whole work leads to the mysteries of life and the new culture inform the empire of fine arts. |
