He studied the spirit of the tongue, appre- ciated its rich combinations, and placed it, in point of aptness, on a level with Greek ; in short, he penetrated to the very core of the language, such as it has become by the development of the Romantic school. The same feeling dominated his choice in reading ; he wrote to his wife, at the beginning of November, " Lessing's works are at present the chief object of my admiration ; " and in Lessing's works, it may be acknow- ledged, are to be found th...e chief germs of modern German poetry. He had first made acquaintance with Lessing, as a writer, in 1796, on theological ground, and after reading his " Fragmente eines Ungenannten, " called him " the most formidable of infidels. " Otherwise he knew no more of him than that he was "a German writer of eminence. " Then, in the house of Klopstock's brother, he had seen a portrait of Lessing, which attracted him much. It struck him as a physiognomy "of quick and voluptuous feelings, of active fancy, acute in the questions of the ideal world.
