Analysis of The Fox And The Huntsman
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 (Frankfurt) – 1832 (Weimar)
HARD 'tis on a fox's traces
To arrive, midst forest-glades;
Hopeless utterly the chase is,
If his flight the huntsman aids.
And so 'tis with many a wonder,
(Why A B make Ab in fact,)
Over which we gape and blunder,
And our head and brains distract.
