Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of William Von Humboldt to a Female Friend, Vol. 2 of 2: A Complete Edition, Translated From Second German Edition The Letters of William von Humboldt to a female friend may be divided into two parts. The second part embraces the last years of bis life - the old age of the writer. These were all written between the years 1829 and 1835, and even the last, shortly before bis death, was written with bis own hand. After Madame von Humboldt´s death, the mind of her already-spiritualized husband assumed a completely different tone. It is true, his life and actions remained equally beneficent; his sympathy with all who were near him and deserving of it, consolatory and foil of goodness and love: but the spirit of joy was fled, the aspect of the world was changed. He asked no more from life; - it could bestow nothing of value to him but quiet and solitude, that he might live undisturbed in his study, upon the remembrance of the past, in sorrowful recollections and lofty contemplations.
