What is now the foliage moving? Air is still, and hush'd the breeze, Sultriness, this fullness loving, Through the thicket, from the trees. Now the eye at once gleams brightly, See! the infant band with mirth Moves and dances nimbly, lightly, As the morning gave it birth, Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Analysis and synthesis are both as necessary to the thinking spirit as inspiration and expiration to the organism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Nothing will change the fact that I cannot produce the least thing without absolute solitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
He loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Give shape, artist! don't talk! Your poem be but a breath.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
