Goethe was not only the great poet, the great thinker of his epoch, but the splendor of historical princely heights was associated with his person. I recall the end of the above writing, where the Emperor mentions the personal enjoyment he has drawn from the book. What was this enjoyment? Hardly in anything that would benefit its literary value. I do not know of the Emperor ever mentioning Goethe in conversation, but he had, I am told, had passages read to him from the book. I see in this the expression of an emotion in him that could not be described merely as an interest in Goethe. Goethe was a bygone power that had a claim on the participation of the German Emperor.

Kaum in etwas, das dessen literarischem Werte zugute käme. Ich wüßte nicht, daß der Kaiser im Gespräche Goethe jemals erwähnt hätte, er hatte sich aber, wie mir erzählt wurde, aus dem Buche vorlesen lassen. Ich erblicke darin die Betätigung eines Gefühles bei ihm, das nicht bloß mit Interesse an Goethe bezeichnet werden dürfte.
