German critic has reproached me for my ignorance of Nietzsche’s works.
I have read several of them, but the mixture of genius and madness in
them makes them difficult to use. In this connection Moebius’ volume,
_Ueber das Pathologische bei Nietzsche_ (Wiesbaden, 1902), is of
interest.

Some of Goethe’s biographers, and amongst them G. H. Lewes, maintain
that these lines relate to Christine, Goethe’s wife. This is erroneous;
they refer to Faustine (see Bielschowsky, i, p. 517).
