Notes toward The Life of Goethe

“p24–26: 'Above him is a man of a stronger / and better nature.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Notes toward The Life of Goethe." Houghton Library, Harvard University.

Inferred Long French passage (pp. 24–30) distinguishing 'le grand et véritable Écrivain' from 'le Poete,' with the 'laves harmonieuses' metaphor noted in pencil as 'harmonious lavas.' Style and critical method are consistent with Sainte-Beuve's Portraits littéraires or Causeries du lundi essays on Goethe.
