Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832 / Frankfurt am Main
The Misanthrope
LIKE THIS POEM
AT first awhile sits he,
With calm, unruffled brow;
His features then I see,
Distorted hideously,--
An owl's they might be now.
What is it, askest thou?
Is't love, or is't ennui?
'Tis both at once, I vow.
