Excerpt from A Divided Heart, and Other Stories I'r occasionally happens that a reader ex pecting to find the customary account of an author's early struggles for bread and knowl edge, his bitter disappointments, his late and almost joyless success, is surprised by the record of a singularly fortunate life; of a life which advances easily and naturally from a peaceful and promising childhood to an equally peaceful, famous old age. Goethe's was such a life; and reading it, one feels that sharp encounter with the hardest facts of existence would have les sened his greatness, would have disturbed that perfect serenity of soul which made him philosopher as well as poet, and fos tered his fidelity to high ideals of life and art.
