German to English: Harvard Language Exam for Grad Students in History General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: History
Source text - German Heinrich von Treitschke, der im Sommer 1896 starb, las im Wintersemester davor zum letztenmal sein berühmtes großes Publicum "Deutsche Geschichte". Während er auf dem Katheder Handschuhe abstreifte, begann er schon zu reden. Da er beinahe gänzlich taub war und sich selbst nicht hören konnte, sprach er in einer eigentümlich lauten, bellenden Art, die in dem Auditorium Maximum gut vernehmlich war. Von den deutschen Historikern des 19. Jahrhunderts war in ihm das dichterische Element, ohne das höhere Geschichtschreibung überhaupt nicht möglich ist, am stärksten. Dieses verlieh dem breitschultrigen wohlgenährten Manne mit dem noch bushigen Haupthaar und dem ergrauten Bart um die vollen Wangen in dem gültigen Gesicht etwas Strahlend-Leuchtendes. Er sprach gänzlich frei und bellte seine angrifflustigen Sätze, die in dem gleichen Rythmus gebaut waren wie seine geschriebene Prosa, in das Publikum hinein, das seine Zustimmung, da er die übliche studentische Beifallsbezeugung durch Trampeln nicht hören konnte, ihm durch Klatschen mit erhobenen Händen zu erkennen gab.
Translation - English Heinrich von Treitschke, who died in the summer of 1896, read in the preceding Wintersemester for the last time his famous great publication "German History". As soon as he had taken his gloves off and laid them on the podium, he began to speak. Because he was almost totally deaf, and could not hear even himself, he spoke in a loud, bellowing style that could easily be heard in the auditorium.
From the German historians of the nineteenth century came strongly a poetic element, without which such high historical writing is not possible. This gave the face of the broad-shouldered man, with his still-bushy head of hair and grey beard around full cheeks, an aspect as if a beam of light were coming from his face. He spoke in a free style and bellowed into the audience his bellicose sentences, formulated in the same way as his written prose. He did this in order to make his approval hear, for he could not hear the left-over applause from the students, who recognized his entrance by clapping with raised hands.
