Near the beginning of Goethe’s career,
when his enthusiasm for Shakespeare was at once the excitement of new discovery
and a reflection of the championship of the human spirit in opposition to the
formalities of Neoclassicism, be happened upon the autobiography of Gotz yon
Berlichingen, a sixteenth-century robber knight who represented himself as a
defender of justice and righteousness in the midst of treacherous and
Machiavellian princes and nobles. Inspired by these idealistic sentiments, by
the new patriotic spirit, and by a strong Rousseauistic conviction in regard to
the goodness of the natural instincts of man, Goethe attempted to imitate

The noise of voices grew faint and sometimes for five or ten minutes there was silence. Then from some distant street came a child’s cry. Presently church bells began to ring.
The Doctor was not a very neat man and sometimes for several days he forgot to shave. With a long lean hand he stroked his half grown beard. His illness had struck deeper than he had admitted even to himself and his mind had an inclination to float out of his body. Often when he sat thus his hands lay in his lap and he looked at them with a child’s absorption. It seemed to him they must belong to someone else. He grew philosophic."
