text_original: Something might be said of him like that which Richter said of Schiller : he was to strangers stony and like a precipice from which it was their instinct to spring back. It is certain that he had warm and generous feelings, but his very sensitive  ness only led hi m to disguise them. The contrast between his emotions and his lack of demonstrative  ness created in him a constant artificiality which often seemed mere awkwardness.
