Hope ! O the only sweet balm of life ! How often it charms my soul !
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832), from “Clavigo”, translated from the German by Edgar Alfred Bowring, Anna Swanwick (1880)
… he has loved me better than I have understood how to love myself. And I should be angry with him ? No, I will go on loving him because his love was stronger, his thoughts prouder, than my weakness and my cowardliness. And perhaps he even still loves me — yes, it was for love of me that he left me.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832), from “Clavigo”
And why, monster, had you the barbarity to torture the girl to death ? Only because her heart preferred you to ten others, all more honourable and richer than you ?
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832), from “Clavigo”, translated from the German by Edgar Alfred Bowring, Anna Swanwick (1880)
No, he was no deceiver. He did not love me anymore; that is why he left me, but that, after all, was no deception. If he had stayed with me without loving me, then he would have been a deceiver; then like a pensioner I would have lived on the love he once had had, lived on his pity, on the mite he perhaps even generously had thrown to me, lived as a burden to him and a torture to myself.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832), from “Clavigo”
Goethe wrote a play Clavigo about Beaumarchais murdering a man, both under real names.
Goethe based it on Beaumarchais's own account, how he went to Spain and bullied the fellow writer Clavijo, destroying his career. IRL Beaumarchais didn't kill him, just brandished a gun, and his sister didn't die either.
Goethe likely knew that Beaumarchais had indeed killed someone with a sword, but it was a duel in France, nothing to do with Clavijo.
Beaumarchais didn't clutch pearls that RPF is bad boohoo. He watched Goethe's Clavigo in the theatre when he was in Germany.
Goethe wasn't even the only one who wrote a play about Beaumarchais and Clavijo: there was also a French stage play, and Beaumarchais watched it too, without screaming crying pearl clutching.
There's a 1970 film, a 1988 film and a ballet Clavigo!

“The young Clavigo, interpreted by star dancer Nicolas Le Riche, seduces the passionate Marie, interpreted by first dancer Clairemarie Osta, in a rehearsal late of a performance by the Paris Opera Ballet in Baalbek. The ballet ‘Clavigo’ recounts the story of a lover who favors the pursuit of his career ambitions over the call of his heart.”
