The Thalia, originally planned with reference to the public at Mannheim, refused to bear transplanting to another soil without a season of wilting. Instead of manuscript for the second number, Goeschen was obliged to content himself for several months with excuses for postponement.
We first hear of it in a letter of December, 1789, wherein Schiller, just then casting about eagerly for possibilities of income, informs Koerner that he is to have four hundred thalers from Goeschen for an 'essay' upon the Thirty Years' War, to be published in the 'Historical Calendar for Ladies'. He felicitates himself that the labor will be light, since the material is so abundant and he is to write only for amateurs.
Could not Goeschen be persuaded to undertake a new and authentic edition of the published plays and to advance a sum of money on the prospects? Koerner's reply was prompt and characteristic. He enclosed a draft for current expenses, promised more against the time of need and bade his friend have no further solicitude about money.
His promise, in a letter of March 1, 1802, that if he should write a second 'Maid of Orleans', Goeschen should publish it, is only an author's playful 'jollying' of a friendly publisher. The Bride of Messina Das Leben ist der Gueter hoechstes nicht, Der Uebel groesztes aber ist die Schuld. 'The Bride of Messina'.
After the crisis was past came weary weeks of lassitude and pain, with no possibility of writing or reading. In July he took the waters at Karlsbad, with some slight benefit. By autumn he was well enough to do the promised continuation of his history and to lay plans with Goeschen for a New Thalia to begin with the next year. But he was now in desperate straits for money.
Dull old Nicolai in Berlin complained of the ravages of Kantism in German literature. Pious souls like Stolberg were scandalized by the lubricity of Goethe's 'Elegies' and 'Wilhelm Meister'. The famous philologist, Wolf, pounced violently upon one of Herder's Homeric essays. Schiller had now fallen out with his old friend Goeschen, who was a center of contemptuous opposition at Leipzig.
Here, in a little second-story chamber, which was provided with an infinitesimal bed-room, he lived some four months, happy months, in the main, even If the famous 'Song to Joy', which local tradition ascribes to this time and place, was in fact written a little later in Dresden. Various friends were at hand. Besides Huber there was Goeschen, with whom he was soon on terms of intimacy.
This was easily arranged, for Korner was well-to-do and had himself lately acquired an interest in the publishing business of Goeschen at Leipzig. 'Cabal and Love' had already been played on the 13th of April by Grossmann's company at Frankfurt. The Boon of Friendship Wem der grosse Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein,... Mische seinen Jubel ein. 'Song to Joy'.
