I found this poem of Sri Aurobindo in his book "Colllected Poems" about the amazing philosopher and naturalist Goethe, who I learned to love through the book by Stephen Buhner called "The Secret Teaching of Plants."
Goethe
A perfect face amid barbarian faces,
A perfect voice of sweet and serious rhyme,
Traveller with calm, inimitable paces,
Critic with judgement absolute to all time,
A complete strength when men were maimed and weak,
German obscured the spirit of a Greek.
