Note 37 — PART SEVEN 1892–1898

The new lexical formations which this quotation professes to exemplify will be best seen in the original: Keine Empfindelei, kein klingendes Wortgetöse. Sich-entschließen-wollen. Jeder in seiner Weise auch tun. Wir wollen praktische, wollen Verwirklichungs-, wollen Tatidealisten sein. The translator finds himself unable to reproduce these compounds in English without losing their quality as “stylistic beauties”; for he does not recognize the language of recent newspaper headlines as English until he shall hear the same sort of language in conversation, or read it in letters, or at least see it in the newspapers themselves elsewhere than in headlines.
