I took my start from this passion of his for returning again and again to praise of Switzerland, and further, from the fact that once in a speech subsequently published as a brochure, *German Culture and the German Empire*, he collected together in a spirit of impishness and yet at the same time with nothing short of genius, all there was to be said *for* German culture and the German people and *against* the German Empire. There was really something grandly prophetic about this speech that was made in the early eighties, scuttling the German Empire as it were, saying all manner of harsh things about it, calling it the wrecker and destroyer of the true being and nature of the Germans. That was the second thing—this singular ‘loving hatred’, if I may put it so, and ‘hating love’ for all that is truly German, and for the German Empire.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"F.
