〃John Christopher Frederick;〃 had been written by his father in the

Bible。 The bust was cast in bronze; and part of the metal used for

this purpose was the old church bell; whose tones had died away from

the memory of those at home and elsewhere。 The metal; glowing with

heat; flowed into the mould; and formed the head and bust of the

statue which was unveiled in the square in front of the old castle。

The statue represented in living; breathing reality; the form of him

who was born in poverty; the boy from Marbach; the pupil of the

military school; the fugitive who struggled against poverty and

oppression; from the outer world; Germany's great and immortal poet;

who sung of Switzerland's deliverer; William Tell; and of the

heaven…inspired Maid of Orleans。



    * The Danish sculptor Thorwaldsen。



    It was a beautiful sunny day; flags were waving from tower and

roof in royal Stuttgart; and the church bells were ringing a joyous

peal。 One bell was silent; but it was illuminated by the bright

sunshine which streamed from the head and bust of the renowned figure;

of which it formed a part。 On this day; just one hundred years had

passed since the day on which the chiming of the old church bell at

Marbach had filled the mother's heart with trust and joy… the day on

which her child was born in poverty; and in a humble home; the same

who; in after…years; became rich; became the noble woman…hearted poet;

a blessing to the world… the glorious; the sublime; the immortal bard;

John Christoper Frederick Schiller!





                            THE END
