German writer, scientist, and philosopher (1749–1832) who takes a place among the central intellectual and artistic figures of his day. His poetry and dramatic works provided source material for Beethoven, Schubert, and Berlioz, among others. Rare and desirable autograph quotation on a 6.75 x 2.5 off-white trimmed slip. Goethe writes four lines, in German, loosely translated: “Illustrious beggars I’ve known, Artists and philosophers called; But I know nobody…The better paid his bill.” In fine condition, with a central vertical fold and a bit of trivial toning. An interesting and boldly scripted example in a very uncommon format.
