Humilty (Goethe)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: (trans. —okei)

Humility 
In the masterworks I see
How their magic works on me
Through their beauteous harmony. 

Gazing at what I have wrought,
I see what I really sought —
How much still to do I ought!

Painting: Charles E Perugini “Girl Reading”, also known as ”In the Orangerie”.
