An Age of Expectation

One would really like to say: Especially in such a representative spirit as Herman Grimm - with whom I believe I can increasingly associate more and more of our friend Christian Morgenstern's work for the spiritual world - the striving for the spiritual is evident, and it is important not to pass over these facts. When Goethe died, Herman Grimm was four years old. He died in Berlin on June 16, 1901 at the age of seventy-three. He lived through the second half of the nineteenth century in such a way that his personality had to show a unity with all the impulses of beauty that had flowed from Goethe into humanity.
