Goethe on superstition, 1

On March 11, 2021October 10, 2021 By Goethe GlobalIn superstition

Superstition is the poetry of life,
and so it doesn’t hurt the poet
to be superstitious.

Der Aberglaube
ist die Poesie des Lebens;
deswegen schadets dem Dichter nicht
abergläubisch zu sein.

-Maxims and reflections, No. 171
Translation by Goethe Global based on translation by Bailey Saunders.

No. 3200
