“We have here a mine of curious observation. Falk’s part is full of interest: we pass from one bold originality of fine thought to another, and each is a theme for reflection; it is well for us that Goethe had a friend in whose ear these jewels were treasured.”—Examiner.
“We are indebted to Mrs. Austin for one of the most elegant and complete translations which ever enriched the stores of the English language. You see the genius of a foreign language, but it does not appear in a rough or abrupt guise—the stranger appears as much at home as if he had lived with us all his life. The remarkable peculiarity of all that relates to Goethe, seems to be in this—your mind takes a leap after reading his works, or examining his character; nothing about him is common-place or vulgar; even his attachment to a courtier’s life is full of a certain intellectual poetry; he looked upon it as we look upon a play, in which the real actors are often but poor creatures, but in which the delusions which surround them are full of magic and of grace.”—New Monthly Magazine.
