Parse? Was kann das bedeuten? Pierce ist dem aufmerksamen Auge leserlich genug." Tieck seems to hav mist the play on the grammatical idea. To be sure, I hav not seen the Ms., but Tieck was no very careful reader or copyist.
[39] This is a scene where Tieck saw both L. and S. There were two different paintings of the same subject, one with fewer figures, and Tieck rightly points out that the less crowded one is the better. One of the engravings is by W. Blake and is not given in any list of that artist's work. Mr. W. G. Robertson, the most recent biografer of Blake informs me in a letter that he does not know it.
