It has taken me decades of exploration and searching in a “wilderness” named Goethe to finally find my way to solid barren peaks… above the trees as it were…from which to see his view around. It was, as it happened, reading in a free 1972 MA Thesis “Goethe and the Classical Ideal”… The experience was so essential that it is taking me days before I can attend at all again to anything else.
This perhaps would not have happened without my trip to Italy, to Sicily; but it did.
