And when they were finished, he worked on his “Iphigenia”, and he was already working on it during this process. Now we have to say, how many of our poets would not feel disturbed if they had to dig up recruits in addition to writing down their brilliant ideas! But I don't think that the “Iphigenia” has become worse than some contemporary poetry because it was worked on during the recruitment of recruits. But Goethe did that because his thoughts were concrete, so that his thoughts worked in the things, not detached from the things, not speculative.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"49.

Nun müssen wir doch sagen, wie viele unserer Dichter würden sich nicht gestört fühlen, wenn sie neben der Niederschrift ihrer glänzenden Ideen noch Rekruten ausheben müssten! Aber ich glaube nicht, dass die «Iphigenie» deswegen schlechter geworden ist als manches zeitgenössische Dichtungs-Produkt, weil bei der Rekrutenaushebung daran gearbeitet wurde.
