Werther

As I was a college student, I read "Werther" over and over again. I felt Werther as me, and I was strongly fascinated by the grace of the sentence.

Werther said, "If people would only warn themselves daily, that one cannot do anything for one's friends but leave them their pleasure and add to their happiness by sharing it with them. Are you able to give them one drop of comfort when their souls are tormented by a violent passion or crushed by grief?"


He is good at using 'but'. I should learn that.

Thank you.
