Year after year you lived on at Weimar accumulating knowledge and collecting objects, writing letters and gathering them in, as though in your old age you had found the real way to discover the eternal in the momentary, though you could only mummify it, and to spiritualise nature though you could only hide it with a pretty mask.
Berorrek urte luzeetan zehar jakinduriaren eta bildumen pilaketa, gutun idazketa eta bilketa ere, Weimarko berorren agure bizitza guztia egiaz unea betirakotzeko bide bat balitz bezala jokatu du, hura momifikatu besterik egin ezin zezakeenean, natura izpiritualizatzeko bide bat balitz bezala, hura maskaratara doitu besterik egin ezin zezakeenean.
