Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mother of Goethe, Frau Aja: With a Photogravure Frontispiece Seventeen Other Illustrations
It is universally allowed that the subtle beauty of Goethe's poetry eludes translation, being dependent for its rare charm so greatly on grace of form, it is as a jewel torn from a fine setting when presented in a foreign language.
