Hegel auf ὅρος 

The narrow road of empty breadth 

implies inseparate empty depth 

Just as so too the notion of unbounded cosmic reality 

entails existence of unending diversity 

Minus necessity of accompanying might 

to cohere the diverse infinite. 

A veritably contentless intense kinetic, that, 

though disposed to selfappear as pure 

force minus ongoing scattering dilution, 

is ipso facto itself but all surface. 

For latent power of Spirit is no more forceful than its reality as thing kinetic and formally runs no deeper than its trust of self in actu 

to dispense and expend of itself 

its own expanding revelation 

as self-explanation.

{Phenomenology of Spirit, Preface; £10.} 

"...Wie es aber eine leere Breite gibt, so auch eine leere Tiefe, wie eine Extension der Substanz, die sich 

in endliche Mannigfaltigkeit ergießt, ohne Kraft, sie zusammenzuhalten - so ist dies eine gehaltlose Intensität, welche als lautere Kraft ohne Ausbreitung sich 

haltend, dasselbe ist, was die Oberflächlichkeit...." 

(The 2010 Terry Pinkard trans.:) 

"However, in the way that there is an empty breadth, there is also an empty depth, just as likewise there is an extension of substance which spills over into finite diversity without having the 

power to keep that diversity together – 

this is an intensity without content, which, 

although it makes out as if it were a sheer 

force without dispersion, is in fact no more 

than superficiality itself. 

The force of spirit 

is only as great as its expression, 

and its depth goes only as deep as it trusts itself 

to disperse itself 

and to lose itself 

in its explication of itself. – "
