The farmer trusts promethean[1]-apollonian in his own spirit of invention; he works the earth with the plough, he wounds it, and in doing so stimulates the fruiting of the plants that he steadily cultivates into crop-plants, developing crafts of all kinds, in which he gives expression to a consciousness turned toward the future. The pastoral peoples are otherwise — in soul-surrender, epimethean-dionysian, they fit themselves into the given creation, seek to preserve it, and tend their more backward-turned consciousness, still bound to the remnants of old clairvoyance, in the cult of the ancestors.
