Seite 77 - And one, the strong much-toiling sage, In German Weimar sleeps. But Wordsworth's eyes avert their ken . From half of human fate; And Goethe's course few sons of men May think to emulate. For he pursued a lonely road, His eyes on Nature's plan ; Neither made man too much a God, Nor God too much a man.
Seite 78 - Europe's sagest head. Physician of the iron age, Goethe has done his pilgrimage. He took the suffering human race, He read each wound, each weakness clear; And struck his finger on the place, And said : Thou ailest here, and here...
Seite 78 - Ah ! since dark days still bring to light Man's prudence and man's fiery might, Time may restore us in his course Goethe's sage mind and Byron's force; But where will Europe's latter hour Again find Wordsworth's healing power?!
Seite 71 - Wordsworth cared little for books, and disparaged Goethe. I admire Wordsworth, as he is, so much that I cannot wish him different ; and it is vain, no doubt, to imagine such a man different from what he is, to suppose that he could have been different; but surely the one thing wanting to make Wordsworth an even greater poet than he is...

Seite 69 - Let us conceive of the whole group of civilised nations as being, for intellectual and spiritual purposes, one great confederation, bound to a joint action and working towards a common result ; a confederation whose members have a due knowledge both of the past, out of which they all proceed, and of one another. This was the ideal of Goethe, and it is an ideal which will impose itself upon the thoughts of our modern societies more and more.
Seite 62 - ... they are still, in fact, schools, and do not carry education beyond the stage of general and school education. The examination for the degree of bachelor of arts, which we place at the end of our three years...
Seite 98 - Miserere, Domine ! The words are utter'd, and they flee. Deep is their penitential moan, Mighty their pathos, but 'tis gone ! They have declared the spirit's sore Sore load, and words can do no more. Beethoven takes them then — those two...
Seite 80 - ... journal by Heinrich Heine, the most famous of the young German literary set. He has a good deal of power, though more trick ; however, he has thoroughly disgusted me. The Byronism of a German, of a man trying to be gloomy, cynical, impassioned, moqueur, etc., all...
