“From Goethe / To a golden heart which I wore round / my neck.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Journal 1833–1834." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086 (4); Box 5 (83).

Inferred The title is Inferred because Fuller gives only the English paraphrase title ‘To a golden heart which I wore round my neck’, not the German canonical title.

Poem attributed to ‘Goethe’ explicitly in the manuscript header; content matches his Lili-cycle poem ‘An ein goldenes Herz, das er am Halse trug’ (To a Golden Heart that He Wore at his Neck), addressed to Lili Schönemann (written c. 1775). Fuller names Lili explicitly in the transcription.
