Excerpt from The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Vol. 19 of 20: Masterpieces of German Literature, Translated Into English

Is this still the people to which Goethe belonged? At a time when a common cause with Austria conjures up again the shade Of the dear Old Holy Roman Empire no other verse in Faust seems SO inept as that concerning the ugly political song. Today we should rather say An unpolitical song, an ugly song; for to the people that but a few weeks ago was mindful Of naught but works Of peace everything has become a matter of indifference except the burning question Of the hour. Even though the longed-for peace Should soon return, the year 1914 must leave a deep mark in the development Of German literature. As yet we can only look back, not forward, from this milestone; and even in so doing we cannot escape from the present.
