1913 - Hatfield, James Taft - Book review

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-08-30. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-08-30.

Allusion

Equally clear is Professor Wood's supreme piety toward the aged Goethe. He works from the principle that even the most phantasmagoric episode in Faust contains some adequate, worthy meaning, which he purposes to chase to its capture, though the hunt should lead around Robin Hood's barn; he will let go of no hint until he has harried it to quiescence.
