Enthusiasm and Youth in Goethe and Modern Life
The piece extols Goethe’s embrace of youth and argues enthusiasm and aspiration keep vitality alive into old age. It cites a court case where a widow’s social life prompted guardianship questions, and notes a new method using electric brushes to kill grass on railroads, imagining rural use. It ends with a digression on Ellen Dietrich’s Arena essay claiming trousers were Queen Medea’s invention.
