Abstract

"Vom Vater hab' ich die Statur, des Lebens arnstes Fuhren. Vom Mutterchen die Frohnatur, die Lust zu fabulieren." Goethe said these words, and well may they be repeated by Gerhart Hauptmann, for in a few words the above lines characterize the man and his parents. Hauptmann's physique and the physical qualities which gave him such a very fine appearance he inherited from his father, as the above words indicate. From his mother he inherited the spiritual qualities, and the art of telling and writing stories.
