idyl, which has been justly called 'one
of the most faultless poems of modern times.' Nothing can surpass
the simplicity, tenderness, and grace of the original, and these
have been well preserved in Miss Frothingham's version. Her
success is worthy of the highest praise, and the mere English
reader can scarcely fail to read the poem with the same delight
with which it has always been read by those familiar with the
German. Its charming pictures of domestic life, the strength and
delicacy of its characterization, the purity of tone and ardent
love of country which breathe through it, must always make it one
of the most admired of Goethe's works."--_Boston Christian
