Analysis of The Originals
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)
A FELLOW says: "I own no school or college;
No master lives whom I acknowledge;
And pray don't entertain the thought
That from the dead I e'er learnt aught."
This, if I rightly understand,
Means: "I'm a blockhead at first hand."
