A REMARKABLE COMPARISON BETWEEN SCHIL-
LER AND GOETHE has been made by a poetical
Gorman, taking "Egmont" of one poet and "Wallonstein" of
the other as types of the characters of their authors. The
critic justifies his discovery of the similarity between the
poets and their heroes by referring to Goethe's quotation of
the passage about the " car of our destiny" from" Egmont,"
and to a statement of Schiller's, that in the drama of " Wal-
lenstein" he had "expressed his own manner of being."
One part of the comparison which deserves praise for its
critical acuteness is the contrast of the background of the
two pieces—the revolt of the Netherlands furnishing the
background to " Egmont," and the Thirty Years' War to
" Wallenstein." Egmont's love of life, says the critic, is
only to be explained by the state cf things around him;
Wallenstein is only psychologically possible in the anarchy
of the Thirty Years' War. And in the same way, Egmont
would be nothing without tho people of the Netherlands;
'Syallenstein nothing without his army. A little extra
Germn minuteness is perhaps required to discover a typi-
cal intention throughout the " Lager," a constant reference
to the coming characters of the piece, so that the "Lager"
is really an overture to tho " Piccolomini" and Wailen-
stein's " Tod." The critic finds that the cuirassier in the
" Lager" is a type of Max, the carabineer a type of Tersky,
the Croat of Isoloni, the dragoon of l3uttler, while the ser-
geant is a parody of-Wallonstein himself, ancl the Capuchin
'link of Queetenberg.
