Opis: Literature - Grimm Herman

Excerpt from Literature: Ralph Waldo Emerson, France and Voltaire, Voltaire and Frederick the Great and Macaulay, Albert Drer, the Brothers Grimm, Bettina Von Arnim, Dante on the Recent Italian Struggle

An episode of peculiar import belongs to recent German history, revealing the character of a few literary men in a heroic light.

While offering to the public, in this little book, a brief notice of the "Brothers Grimm," perhaps a few words may be added to give an incident in the career of these men, already endeared to American readers by their unrivalled productions.

Emerson regretted that one must so often combine the adjectives "weak and literary"; intellect rises or sinks with character, "goodness itself being an eye."

"Where there is depravity there is a slaughter-house style of thinking." It was Byron himself who insulted the glorious genius born within him, and well-nigh destroyed all claim to immortality, by lending expression to misanthropy and weaknesses of all kinds; putting what was personal and transitory in place of the eternal and universal.
