Text
Guo, Moruo. Chuang zao shi nian [ID D11361].
"Ich habe unter Johann Wolfgang von Goethes Einfluss begonnen, Versdramen zu schreiben. Nachdem ich den ersten Teil des Faust übersetzt habe, ging ich anschliessend daran, Tang di zhi hua (Geschwister Nie Ying und Nie Zheng) zu schaffen... Dann noch Die Wiedergeburt der Göttinnen, Xianglei und Die zwei Prinzen des Herrn Guzu. Alle diese Stücke sind unter Goethes Einfluss gestanden."
"During the first period I followed Tagore. This was before the May Fourth Movement, and I strove for brevity and tranquility in my poetry, with rather little success. During the second period I followed Whitman. This was during the high tide of the May Fourth Movement, and I strove to make my poems vigorous and robust. This must be counted my most memorable period. During the third period I followed Goethe, the passion of the second period was lost and I became one who played the game of versification. It was under the impact of Goethe that I began to write poetic dramas."
Er schreibt über Baruch Spinoza, dass er Ethica, Tractatus theologico-politicus und Tractatus de intellectus emendatione gelesen hat.
He admired most Die Wandlung by Ernst Toller and Die Bürger von Calais by Georg Kaiser and he states that in reading Spinoza and Goethe he discoverd for himelf 'pantheist' traditions in ancient Chinese philosophy of Zhuangzi.
