The heirs of Shakespeare and Tennyson can enter, at least partially, Dante's cosmos, find much to engage them in Baudelaire and positively embrace Anglo-Saxon-hating Rilke, but Goethe remains out of reach to anyone not adept at German. His poetry in English translation seems hardly poetry at all, but moral anecdote stiffened with rhyme and Unsourced Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Quotes. 1. We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. 2. There is a courtesy of the heart; it is allied to love. From it springs the purest courtesy in the outward behavior. 3.
