GOETHE, Westöstlicher Diwan TRANSLATOR’S NOTE THE PRESENT EDITION of this book contains the author’s corrections and revisions of his original text. Certain minor omissions, mostly of repetitive material, have been made with his permission, and a few small passages added in connection with the illustrations, which the author has assembled for this edition. Quotations are in most cases taken from or based upon the standard English or American translations indicated in the footnotes; but where it was necessary to translate directly from the German texts cited by the author, reference is made to the German sources only. I would like to express my most cordial thanks to Dr. Gerhard Adler for his help in elucidating many difficult passages in the text, and for his careful revision of the translation in typescript. R.
