4to (190 x 230 mm). 1 p. on bifolium. The body of the letter is written in the hand of Goethe's secretary Riemer. To Heinrich Carl Abraham Eichstädt, sending his review of the Riepenhausen brothers' outline engravings after Polygnotian paintings and commenting on related editorial matters: "[.] Ein Wort über die Riepenhausenschen Arbeiten liegt auch bey. Prof. Meyer ist schon an die Kupferplatte gegangen und das Programm hoffe ich, soll ohne sehr weitläufig zu seyn, doch genugsam interessant werden. Einige sehr schöne kurze Aufsätze über das Orchester sende gleichfalls mit dem Vorschlag sie nach und nach unter den Strich zu bringen. Es wäre freylich gut, wenn jede Abtheilung für sich ganz eingerückt werden könnte. Diese wenigen Blätter sind voll Geist und Werth. Geheimrath Wolf ist angekommen und grüßt zum schönsten. Herrn Hofrath Voß haben wir leider umsonst erwartet. Mögen Ew. W. nicht in diesen Tagen etwa zu Mittag bey uns einsprechen [.]". - The review appeared on 1 July in the Jenaische Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung (JALZ), where Goethe sharply criticised Romantic tendencies in painting. The classicist Eichstädt (1772-1848), who taught rhetoric and poetics at Jena, was editor of the JALZ. Goethe had co-founded the journal in 1804 and continued to direct and support it. - An instructive document of Goethe's classicist aesthetics and of the Weimar circle's editorial cooperation. - Traces of original horizontal folding. Gutter and counter-leaf show traces of old archival sewing; first page numbered "275". - WA 05097.

Oblong 8vo (195 x 115 mm). 1 p. Mounted on backing paper. "Liegt dir Gestern klar und offen / Wirkst du Heute kräftig, treu; / Kannst auch auf ein Morgen hoffen, / Das nicht minder glücklich sey". - This famous quatrain, a masterly paraphrase of a poem by François de Maucroix (1619-1708), was originally published in 1826 in lithographed facsimile of the original manuscript (dated 7 November 1825), appearing under Bendixen's lithograph portrait (after Vogelstein) of the poet. It was also selected by Goethe to round off Group IV of the Zahme Xenien in the final edition of his works. Its quiet praise of the benefits of a life well led no doubt appealed to the poet as he approached the twilight of his own life. Not only did he have lithograph facsimiles made, but he also produced a number of handwritten copies for his friends: those copies invariably read "kräftig treu", not "kräftig frei" (as printed). - In perfect condition. A contemporary note in a different hand at lower left. - Leonard L. Mackall, "Goethe's Quatrain 'Liegt dir Gestern klar und offen': a Paraphrase from Maucroix", The American Journal of Philology 41.4 (1920), pp. 379-383.
