1796. Goethe recites Hermann's conversations with his mother at the pear tree in first half of September. He wept. УThus one melts over one's own coals,Ф he said,
while drying his tears.


УThe wide wooden parapet of the old gentleman's box.Ф Goethe sometimes liked to have a supply of cold food and wine ready in his box, more for the other
peopleЧresidents and friends of importance whom he not infrequently received there.


Performance of Schlegel's Alarcos in 1802. УIn the middle of the orchestra Goethe, serious and solemn, throning in his tall armchair.Ф The audience becomes restless,
finally at one passage a roar of laughter, the whole house shakes. УBut only for a moment, in a trice Goethe jumped up, with thunderous voice and threatening gestures
shouted, Silence, Silence, and it worked like a charm. In an instant the tumult subsided and the unhappy Alarcos went on to the end with no further disturbance, but also
without the slightest sign of applause.Ф


Staыl: What the French apparently take for wit in foreigners is often only ignorance of French. Goethe called an idea of Schiller's neuve et courageuse [new and
corageous], that was wonderful, but it turned out that he had intended to say hardie [bold].


Was lockst Du meine Brut . . . herauf in Todesglut [What you lure my brood. . . up in death glow]. Staыl translated air br√lant [firey air]. Goethe said he
meant the glow of coals. She found that extremely maussade [gloomy] and tasteless and said that the fine sense for the seemly is lacking in German poets.


1804. Love for Heinrich VossЧGoethe reads Luise together with the Sunday company.


To Goethe fell the passage about the marriage, which he read with the deepest emotion. But his voice grew dejected, he wept and gave the book to his neighbor. A
holy passage, he cried out with a degree of fervor which shook us all to the depths.

We were sitting at lunch and had just consumed the last bit of food when Goethe ordered a bone Уbecause Voss still looks so hungry.Ф

But never is he pleasanter and more lovable than in the evening in his room when he is undressed or is sitting on the sofa.

When I came to him I found everything quite comfortable there. He had lit a fire, had undressed down to a short woollen jacket, in which the man looks really splendid.

12 March. In the tram car rapidly passing by there sat in a corner, his cheek against the window, his left arm stretched along the back of the seat, a young man with an
unbuttoned overcoat billowing around him, looking down the long, empty bench. Today he had become engaged and he could think of nothing else. His being engaged
made him feel comfortable and with this feeling he sometimes looked casually up at the ceiling of the tram. When the conductor came to sell him his ticket, after some
jingling, he easily found the right coin, with a single motion put it into the conductor's hand, and seized the ticket between two fingers held open like a pair of scissors.
There was no real connection between him and the tram car and it would not have been surprising if, without using the platform or steps, he had appeared on the street
and gone his way on foot with the same look.


Only the billowing overcoat remains, everything else is made up.
