Could we hope that, in its present disjointed state, this emblematic sketch ["Wanderjahre"] would rise before the minds of our readers, in any measure as it stood before the mind of the writer; that, in considering it, they might seize only an outline of those many meanings which, at less or greater depth, lie hidden under it, we should anticipate their thanks for having, a first or a second time, brought it before them. As it is, believing that to open-minded, truth-seeking men, the deliberate words of an open-minded, truth-seeking man can in no case be wholly unintelligible, nor the words of such a man, as Goethe, indifferent, we have transcribed it for their perusal. [Carlyle, "Goethe," 1828]
如果我們能希望,在其現在支離破碎的狀態下,這個象徵性的素描 ["Wanderjahre" ]能在我們讀者的心中以與作者相似的程度上浮現,那麼在考慮它時,他們可能會抓住它下面隱藏的衆多意義的輪廓,我們將預期他們對我們第一次或第二次將其呈現給他們表示感謝。儘管如此,我們相信對於思想開放、追求真理的人來說,一個思想開放、追求真理的人的深思熟慮的言辭在任何情況下都不會完全難以理解,而這樣一個人的言辭,如歌德所說,也不會被漠視,因此我們將其抄錄供他們閱讀。【卡萊爾,《歌德》,1828年】
