On The Divan

HE who knows himself and others

Here will also see,
That the East and West, like brothers,
Parted ne'er shall be.
Thoughtfully to float for ever
'Tween two worlds, be man's endeavour!


So between the East and West
To revolve, be my behest!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a prolific German writer, poet, playwright, and statesman whose vast body of work significantly impacted European literature and thought. His writings explored profound themes of nature, humanity, science, and the human condition, often blending romantic idealism with classical restraint. Goethe's influence extended beyond literature; he was also a respected figure in science and politics, embodying the ideal of the well-rounded Renaissance man. His literary creations, such as "Faust," remain cornerstones of world literature.
