الوصف

“I am proud of my heart alone, it is the sole source of everything, all our strength, happiness, and misery. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own. Oh, from what does that spring which keeps us in motion, most powerfully indeed? If we know whence it springs, and wherefore, if we can give a name to it, then it is no longer that! It is dead and gone, and we are soulless automata once more. But enough of this. I am absorbed by this most wonderful, this most admirable sensation. I am all the time awake, and yet I am not awake. All that I see about me is dream, dream, and dream again, as vivid and clear as it could possibly be, if the same objects of my sense impressions were in the waking state. My only desire is to take up the reins of my own destiny. I shall not be free of this spell until I see you, dear Lotte, once more. Until I can call you mine, until I press your lovely lips once more, until I hold you fast in my arms and say that you belong to me forever.”

This is Goethe’s first novel, published in 1774. Written in diary form, it tells the tale of an unhappy, passionate young man hopelessly in love with Charlotte, the wife of a friend – a man who he alternately admires and detests. ‘The Sorrows of Young Werther’ became an important part of the ‘Sturm und Drang movement, and greatly influenced later ‘Romanticism’. The work is semi-autobiographical – in 1772, two years before the novel was published, Goethe had passed through a similar tempestuous period, when he lost his heart to Charlotte Buff, who was at that time engaged to his friend Johann Christian Kestner.
