Goethe revanchierte sich, indem er Ottilie, eine der Hauptprotagonisten in seinem Roman Die Wahlverwandtschaften, sagen lässt: »Wie gern möchte ich nur einmal Humboldten erzählen hören!«42 Frontispiz von Humboldts Ideen zu einer Geographie der Pflanzen und seine Widmung an Goethe © Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin
As a return favour, Goethe had Ottilie, one of the main protagonists in his novel Elective Affinities, say, ‘How I should enjoy once hearing Humboldt talk.’ Goethe ‘devoured’ the Essay when he received it in March 1807, and reread the book several times over the next few days. Humboldt’s new concept was so revelatory that Goethe couldn’t wait to talk about it.2 He was so inspired that he gave a botanical lecture in Jena based on the Essay two weeks later.
