A lyrical poem. Where is the problem? Still sung today.

Why is it (and Goethe) trash?

The included English translations are for the benefit of the other users of this board. I read German more than well enough to fully grasp the plain language of the original

there is no problem - that is the problem. Goethe's reputation promises greatness, whereas this poem is hardly more than anodyne; I will chalk it up to the youthful circumstances of its composition

BECAUSE ILLUSTRISM IS ANTILITERARY, ANTISCIENTIFIC, ANTICHRISTIAN; JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE IS THE PRIME GERMANIC ILLUSTRIST: KITSCHY MEDIOCRITY INCARNATE, AND THAT POEM IS EXCELLENT EVIDENCE.

1) What the fuck is illustrism?
2) Do you appreciate the hypocrisy of using caps lock to accuse a writer of kitschiness?
