The German Opposition to the French

When herdra came to paris the early seventies, he was unable to get into contact with any of these men. It appeared to him that they were all artificial, highly mannered, extremely self conscious, dry, soulless little dancing masters and salos who had no soul. And their mere existence irritated, humiliated and infuriated the germans. The mere thought of this opposition filled them with nausea, disgust, humiliation and inferiority. This is perhaps one of the roots of the german opposition to the french, from which romanticism began. Hitler too, aftera, was an obscure man during a certain portion of his life. But obscure figures sometimes create great consequences.
