"'Lotte' he cried, 'I shall never see you again!' -
'Why ever not?' she replied:
'Werther, you may and must see us again, but do be less agitated in your manner.
Oh, why did you have to be born with this intense spirit,
this uncontrollable passion for everything you are close to! I implore you',
she went on, taking his hand, 'be calmer.
Think of the many joys your spirit, your knowledge and your gifts afford you!'"
