Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | Danish term or phrase: stukket under Stolen | "Ikke at tale om, at man paa en hel anden Maade vilde tro derpaa naar man saa, at ikke det Halve var *stukket under Stolen*"
I also quote the sentences before, in my translation in English, in order to give some context:
"(...) For example he [Holberg] eas also affected by foot gout, you could have chosen this detail. Or any other defect. In this way you needed, you were forced to highlight his greatest virtues".
and then the sentence immediately following:
"In your admiration for him, you ended up with making him too beautiful. Do you really believe that he looked so beautiful, while seating on the chair?" |
