Strona 34 - Ich fühle die lebendige Quelle nicht in mir, die durch eigene Kraft sich emporarbeitet, durch eigene Kraft in so reichen, so frischen, so reinen Strahlen aufschießt: ich muß alles durch Druckwerk und Röhren aus mir heraufpressen.
Strona 129 - Indeed he elsewhere extends this, and adds, " No man's private fortune can be an end any way worthy of his existence." Goethe well observes that man " exists for culture ; not for what he can accomplish, but for what can be accomplished in him.
Strona 121 - In the menstruum of this man's wit, the past and the present ages, and their religions, politics and modes of thinking, are dissolved into archetypes and ideas.
Strona 126 - It is preferred by some such to Hamlet, ' as a work of genius. I suppose no book of this century can compare with it in its delicious sweetness, so new, so provoking to the mind, gratifying it with so many and so solid thoughts, just insights into life and manners and characters; so many good hints for the conduct of life, so many unexpected glimpses into a higher sphere, and never a trace of rhetoric or duluess.

No author ever had more earnestness than Schiller, — his earnestness was the real secret of his greatness ; this combination of philosophy and poetry, this harmony between genius and conscience, sprang out of the almost perfect, almost unrivalled equality of proportions which gave symmetry to his various faculties. With him the imagination and the intellect were so nicely balanced, that one...
Strona 120 - It appeals to all minds with the irresistible fascination of an eternal problem, and with the charm of endless variety. It has every element : wit, pathos, wisdom, buffoonery, mystery, melody, reverence, doubt, magic, and irony ; not a chord of the lyre is unstrung, not a fibre of the heart untouched.
Strona 34 - Ich bin weder Schauspieler, noch Dichter. Man erweiset mir zwar manchmal die Ehre, mich für den letztern zu erkennen. Aber nur, weil man mich verkennt. Aus einigen dramatischen Versuchen, die ich gewagt habe, sollte man nicht so freigebig folgern. Nicht jeder, der den Pinsel in die Hand nimmt, und Farben verquistet, ist ein Maler.
Strona 97 - Mütterchen die Frohnatur Und Lust zu fabulieren. Urahnherr war der 'Schönsten hold, Das spukt so hin und wieder; Urahnfrau liebte Schmuck und Gold, Das zuckt wohl durch die Glieder. Sind nun die Elemente nicht Aus dem Komplex zu trennen, Was ist denn an dem ganzen Wicht Original zu nennen?
Strona 167 - He is difficult to understand, — intricate, — strange, — drawing his illustrations from every by-corner of science, art, and nature, — a comet, among the bright stars of German literature. When you read his works, it is as if you were climbing a high mountain, in merry company, to see the sun rise. At times you are enveloped in mist, — the morning wind sweeps.by you with a shout, — you hear the far-off muttering thunders. Wide beneath you spreads the landscape, — field, meadow, town,...
Strona 142 - at once rich and profound , is a monument for all times , of which Germany may be proud ; and a national feeling — a native sentiment — is reflected from this pure mirror, teaching us a greater sense of what we are, and what we were.
