| Evidence: | Harriet, Countess Granville to her brother, the Duke of Devonshire, 31 May 1842:
'Did I not at Tixal translate the "Ideale," [by Schiller] and read my translation to Francis Egerton, by that means persuading him to learn the [German] tongue? If I had not lost the copy, would I not read my poem to prove my words? It is a proof that then, as now, I think it the most beautiful thing I ever read in any language.' |
