Description
-
Goethe had a keen interest in studying nature and his studies inspired his poetry. He admired Luke Howard’s work for “bestowing form on the formless” and “creating a system of ordered change on a boundless world”. Several of his poems are dedicated to Howard’s cloud classification and one is even written in Howard’s honour (Howards Ehrengedächtnis). The two men also corresponded with each other. Howard sent Goethe a copy of The Climate of London in 1822.
