Another man, although infinitely different from Behrisch in every respect, might yet be compared with him in a certain sense; I mean Oeser, who was also one of those men who dream away their lives in a comfortable and indolent activity. His friends themselves secretly acknowledged that, with very fine natural powers, his younger years had not been spent in sufficiently active life; for which reason, he never perfectly attained the technics of his art. Yet a certain diligence appeared to be reserved for his more advanced age, and, during the many years that I knew him, he never lacked invention nor laboriousness. From the first moment, he had attracted me strongly; even his residence, singularly quaint and suggestive of solemn thoughts, was highly charming to me. In the old castle of Pleissenburg, at the right-hand corner, we ascended a repaired, cheerful, winding staircase. The light and roomy saloons of the Academy of Design, of which he was Director, were found to the left; but we could not reach the man himself except through a narrow darkling corridor, at the end of which we first sought the entrance into his apartments, having just passed between his suite of rooms, and an extensive granary. The first apartment was adorned with pictures of the later Italian schools, by Masters whose gracefulness he used highly to commend. As I, with some noblemen, had taken private lessons of him, we were permitted to draw here, and we often penetrated into his private cabinet adjoining, which contained at the same time his few books, his collections of art and natural curiosities, and whatever else might have most interested him. Everything was arranged with taste, with simplicity, and iq such a manner that a great deal was...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Auto-Biography of Goethe, Truth and Poetry, Vol. 1 of 2: From My Life We have now collected, dear friend, more than twelve parts of your poetical works, and on reading them through, find a good deal that is familiar to us, and a good deal that is unfa miliar, while much that has been forgotten is revived by the collection. These twelve volumes, standing before us, in uniform edition, we cannot refrain from regarding as a whole, which readily suggests throughout some image of the nu thor and his capabilities. But it cannot be denied, consider ing the vigour with which he began his literary career, and the length of time that has since elapsed, that a dozen little volumes seem insuficient results. Nor can we conceal, in respect to particq works, that the most of them have been produced under special incitements, and reflect certain external objects, as well as the distinct steps of your inward culture, and the various temporary moral and esthetic max ims and convictions that prevail in them. As a whole, however, these productions remain without connection, and it is often hard to believe that they have come from the same writer.

Excerpt: ...are seldom to be seen; on the contrary, by Lippert, a little world of gems is made known, in which the more comprehensible merit of the ancients, their happy invention. judicious composition, tasteful treatment, are made more striking and intelligible, while, from the great number of them, comparison is much more possible." VVhile now we were busying ourselves with these as much as was allowed, WrNcxELMAmv's lofty life of art in Italy was pointed out, and we took his first writings in hand with devotion: for Oeser had a passionate reverence for him, which he was able easily to instil into us. The problematical part of those little treatises, which are, besides, confused even from their irony. FEELING FOR ART IN LEIPZIG. 263 and from their referring to opinions and events altogetherpeculiar, we were, indeed, unable to decipher; but as Oeser had great influence over us, and incessantly gave them out to us as the gospel of the beautiful, and still more of the tasteful and the pleasing, we found out the general sense, and fancied that with such interpretations we should go on the more securely, as we regarded it no small happiness to draw from the same fountain from which Winckelmann had allayed his earliest thirst. No greater good fortune can befall a city, than when SGYOPIII. educated men, like-minded in what is good and right, live together in it. Leipzig had this advantage, and enjoyed it the more peacefully, as so many differences of judgment had not yet manifested themselves. HUBER, a print collector, and a well-experienced connoisseur, had furthermore the gratefull acknowledged merit of having determined to make the wo of German literature known to the French; KREUCHAUF, an amateur with a practised eye, who, as the friend...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a preface to the present work, which, perhaps, more than another requires one, I adduce the letter of a friend, by which so serious an undertaking was occasioned. "We have now, my dear friend, collected the twelve parts of your poetical works, and on reading them through, find much that is known, much that is unknown; while much that had been forgotten is revived by this collection. These twelve volumes, standing before us, in uniform appearance, we cannot refrain from regarding as a whole; and one would like to sketch therefrom some image of the author and his talents. But it cannot be denied, considering the vigour with which he began his literary career, and the length of time which has since elapsed, that a dozen small volumes must appear incommensurate. Nor can one forget that, with respect to the detached pieces, they have mostly been called forth by special occasions, and reflect particular external objects, as well as distinct grades of inward culture; while it is equally clear, that temporary moral and esthetic maxims and convictions prevail in them. As a whole, however, these productions remain without connexion; nay, it is often difficult to believe that they emanate from one and the same writer. "Your friends, in the meantime, have not relinquished the inquiry, and try, as they become more closely acquainted with your mode of life and thought, to guess many a riddle, to solve many a problem; indeed, with the assistance of an old liking, and a connexion of many years? standing, they find a charm even in the difficulties which present themselves. Yet a little assistance here and there would not be unacceptable, and you cannot well refuse this to our friendly entreaties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of J. W. Von Goethe, Vol. 1 of 2 With respect to the use I have made of the materials at hand, especially of Goethe's Autobiography, I can but repeat what was said in the preface to the first edition; the Dichtung und Wahrheit not only wants the egotistic garrulity and detail which give such con fessions their value, but presents great difficulties to a biographer. The main reason of this is the abiding inaccuracy of tone, which, far more misleading than the many inaccuracies of fact, gives to the whole youthful period, as narrated by him, an aspect so directly contrary to what is given by contemporary evidence, especially his own letters, that an attempt to reconcile the contradiction is futile. If any one doubts this and persists in his doubts after reading the early chapters of this work, let him take up Goethe's letters to the Countess von Stolberg, or the recently published letters to Kestner and Charlotte, and compare their tone with the tone of the Auto biography, wherein the old man depicts the youth as the old man saw him, not as the youth felt and lived. The picture of youthful follies and youthful passions comes softened through the distant avenue of years. Th. Turbulence of a youth of genius is not indeed quite forgotten, but it is hinted with stately reserve. Jupiter, serenely throned upon Olympus, forgets that hv was once a robe] with the Titans.
