Excerpt from La Maison de Victor Hugo
Beaucoup plus riche, bien authentique, mieux remplie est la maison natale de Goethe, à Francfort, et celle Où il vécut à Weimar. Elles contiennent des portraits précieux, des documents valables. Les étrangers y sont fort noblement accueillis. A défaut de cette chaleur de coeur qui se donne à l'humanité avec une ardente et magnifiquement folle frénésie, l'oeuvre de Goethe nous offre l'exemple d'une sérénité grandiose et son génie est le plus purement antique de tous ceux de l'allemagne. Enfin, la gloire de l'auteur de Faust appartient non moins à l'univers qu'à son propre pays. Tout penseur, tout esprit avide de cette lumière que Goethe réclamait toujours plus grande en mourant dans cette maison même, peut donc trouver là des minutes de pure rêverie et se retremper contre nos défaillances dans l'évocation de la beauté. Malheureusement, Weimar n'est pas une ville d'universel rendez - vous comme sont Rome, Paris, Florence ou Londres. Le voyage à la maison de Goethe demeure donc, malgré un incontestable rayonnement, un pèlerinage un peu aristocratique et exceptionnel.
