GOETHE Johann Wolfgang von (1749-1832).
Autograph POEM signed "Goethe", Weimar 28 August 1829| 1 oblong page in-8 (slight trace of pale pink color on part of the sheet).
Quatrain in French.
Probably intended for an album, with superb calligraphy, this poem shows the master of Weimar's mastery of French, despite a few minor spelling mistakes.
"Each day is a good that I receive from heaven, Let us enjoy today the one it gives us.
It does not belong to young people any more than it does to me, And tomorrow's does not belong to anyone.
