MODERN FABULISTS : LESSING, YRIARTE, KRILOF.
' Great thoughts, great feelings, come to them Like instincts, unawares.' R. M. Milnes.
GOTTHOLD EPHRAIM LESSING, born January 22, 1729, at Kamenz, died Feb- ruary 15, 1781, aged fifty-two years, was a distinguished German scholar, poet and dramatist.
As a fabulist, Lessing is noted for epigrammatic point rather than humour, though he is by no means lacking in the latter characteristic. He is perhaps the most original writer of fables amongst the mod...erns. Sagacious, wise, witty, his apologues (1759) have nothing superfluous about them. They are nearly all brief, pithy, and very much to the point. In these respects they follow the JEsopian model more than those of any other modern writer.
The following are good examples of his style : 'jEsop and the Ass. — " The next time you write a 1 1 6 Fables and Fabulists fable about me," said the donkey to ^Esop, " make me say something wise and sensible." ' " Something sensible from you !" exclaimed iEsop ; " what would the world think ?
