DIM forms, ye hover near, a shadowy train, As erst upon my troubl’d sight ye stole. Say, shall I strive to hold you once again? Still for the fond illusion yearns my soul? Ye press around! Come, then, resume your reign, As upwards from the vapory mist ye roll; Within my breast youth’s throbbing pulses bound, Fann’d by the magic air that breathes your march around. Shades fondly lov’d appear, your train attending, And visions fair of many a blissful day; First-love and friendship their fond accents blending, Like to some ancient, half expiring lay; Sorrow revives, her wail of anguish sending Back o’er life’s devious labyrinthine way, The dear ones naming who, in life’s fair morn, By Fate beguiled, from my embrace were torn. They hearken not unto my later song, The souls to whom my earlier lays I sang; Dispers’d for ever is the friendly throng, PLL v6.0 (generated September, 2011) 8 http://oll.libertyfund.org/title/2112 Online Library of Liberty: Goethe’s Works, vol. 2 (Faust 1 & 2, Egmont, Natural Daughter, Sorrows of Young Werther) Mute are the voices that responsive rang. My song resoundeth stranger crowds among, E’en their applause is to my heart a pang; And those who heard me once with joyful heart, If yet they live, now wander far apart. A strange unwonted yearning doth my soul, To yon calm solemn spirit-land, upraise; In faltering cadence now my numbers roll, As when, on harp Æolian, Zephyr plays; My pulses thrill, tears flow without control, A tender mood my steadfast heart o’ersways; What I possess as from afar I see; Those I have lost become realities to me.

Manager. Dramatic Poet. Merryman. MANAGER. Ye twain, whom I so oft have found True friends in trouble and distress, Say, in our scheme on German ground, What prospect have we of success? Fain would I please the public, win their thanks; Because they live and let live, as is meet. The posts are now erected and the planks, And all look forward to a festal treat. Their places taken, they, with eyebrows rais’d, Sit patiently, and fain would be amaz’d. I know the art to hit the public taste, Yet so perplex’d I ne’er have been before; ’Tis true, they’re not accustom’d to the best, But then they read immensely, that’s the bore. How make our entertainment striking, new, And yet significant and pleasing too?

  • The Life of Goethe. Conclusion
    THE LIFE OF GOETHE.* BY THE EDITOR. GOETHE began his great drama Got::: von Bcrlichingcn at the it in end of 1771 : he finished it in 1772 and submitted manu- script to Herder, but when Herder called the poet's attention to its shortcomings Goethe recast the whole, mercilessly canceled long pas- sages and introduced new material. In this revised shape he had it printed at his own expense in June 1773. because he could not find a publisher in Germany who would risk its publication. JOHANN BERNHARD BASEDOW. Many men of prominence had become interested in Goethe and visited him in his father's house. Among them must be mentioned first Johann Caspar Lavater (1741-1801), a pious pastor of Zurich, and Johann Bernhard Basedow, an educator of Hamburg. In com- pany with these two men, both with outspoken theological interests, the young worldling, as Goethe called himself in a poem of that period, undertook a trip along the Rhine in the summer of 1774. * The first instalment of this sketch appeared in the June number. 462 THE OPEN COURT. They visited Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi (1743-1819) on his estate at Pempelfort near Diisseldorf.

Category 2 Strategies. 151 The ways in which thematic and harmonic gestures reappear go well beyond what can be captured by the standard notions of return or recapitulation.1 Like virtually all Western music, the music of the common-practice period is characterized by formal correspondences of various kinds. Such correspondences usually do not form exact symmetries, however, even at the phrase level. This stems partly, no doubt, from distaste for too much repetition and regularity—for predictability, that is, the negative side of the symmetrical coin.2 At this very early date, Riepel could scarcely be expected to realize what he was observing; later, of course, asymmetry would set in on a much greater scale.3 If one does not perceive how a work repeats itself, the work is, almost literally, not perceptible and therefore, at the same time, not intelligible.

  • Dämonische Texturen. Der Durchkreuzte Wunsch in Goethes Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahren
    CORNELIA ZUMBUSCH Dämonische Texturen. Der durchkreuzte Wunsch in Goethes Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahren „Der alternde Goethe“, so stellt Fritz Mauthner nicht ohne Ironie fest, „liebte die Worte Dämonen und dämonisch.“ Insbesondere im Gespräch mit Ecker- mann habe sich sein „Aberglaube an freundlich gesinnte Dämonen [...] gern und oft redselig“ geäußert: je höher ein Mensch, desto mehr stehe er unter dem Einfluß der Dämonen; Raphael, Mozart, Napoleon, auch Lord Byron, werden dämonisch genannt; das Dämonische werfe sich gern an bedeutende Figuren; in einer klaren prosaischen Stadt, wie Berlin, fände es kaum Gelegenheit sich zu manifestieren (1831). Sehr drollig ist es, wenn die subalternen Freunde mit einer Art von Echolalie Goethes Greisenworte wiederholen, und z.B. Eckermann eine kleine Abhandlung über das Dämonische zum besten gibt.1 Das Material für seine Bemerkungen zu Goethes Greisenstil und Eckermanns Echolalie findet Mauthner in den Gesprächen Eckermanns mit Goethe aus dem Jahr 1831. Diese Unterhaltungen werden parallel zur Überarbeitung des Schlussteils von Dichtung und Wahrheit geführt, in dem Goethe mehrfach auf das Dämonische zu sprechen kommt. Den Auftakt zum zwanzigsten und letz- ten Buch seiner Autobiographie, die von der Zeit zwischen seiner ersten Schweizer Reise und dem Aufbruch nach Weimar erzählt, bildet ein Passus, in dem Goethe die Erzählung des eigenen Lebens zum Bildungsroman formt. Man habe „im Verlaufe dieses biographischen Vortrags umständlich gesehn, wie das Kind, der Knabe, der Jüngling sich auf verschiedenen

  • Goethe in Chicago
    : GOETHE IN CHICAGO BY ROSE J. SEITZ, A.M. Tilden Technical High School, Chicago THxA.T Chicagoans, keenly interested in and busily occupied with the stirring events of Civil-War days, nevertheless did not lose their contact with German literature and their admiration for Goethe reveals itself strikingly in a poem found in the issue of the Chicago Sonntags-Zeituug for December 14, 1862.1 It is entitled Der Erlkonig and cleverly applies the central theme of Goethe's poem to the political affairs of that memorable time. In this poem Abraham Lincoln is the father riding through the night with his child Seward, his secretary of state, in his arms. Jefiferson Davis, tempting Seward with promises of favors from the rich Southland, takes the place of the Erlking, who lures the child in Goethe's poem. Davis, as the Erlking, succeeds in drawing Seward to a compromise and destroying him in the eyes of the people. The poem is as follows Wer reitet so spat durch Xacht und Wind? Es ist Herr Lincoln, der milde gesinnt, Er halt den Seward wohl in dem Arm, Er halt ihn sicher, er halt ihn warm. "Sag", Seward, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" "Siehst unten du den Jefif. Davis nicht? ?" Jefif. Davis mit seinem Rebellenschweif "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif." "Du lieber Seward, komm' geh" mit mir, Gar viele Dinge versprech' ich dir. Viel Baumwolle wachst in unsrem Land, !" Ich driicke dir A'ieles zum Dank in die Hand "O Lincoln, Lincoln, horst du denn nicht, Was Davis mir so kiihn verspricht?" "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind, !" Die ganze Geschichte ist nichts als Wind "Willst, feiner Kunde, du mit mir geh'n, Der Siiden soil deiner warten schon, Wir fiihren zusammen den festlichen Reih'n, !"
