Though on his return to Weimar Goethe had been relieved of the burden of his official duties, his attachment to the Court still involved a sacrifice of time which he would have preferred to give to the special pursuits in which he was interested. During the years 1790-3 he spent more than a year away from Weimar and in conditions which were not always congenial, although they brought their own profit to himself and to the world. As we have noted, he did not find himself happy in Weimar during the period immediately following his return. His breach with Frau von Stein and the general lack of sympathy from former friends had resulted in his complete isolation from Weimar society. For Weimar, wrote Frau Herder to her husband, Goethe is no longer of any use. It was doubtless out of a desire for temporary escape from a painful situation that in the autumn of 1789 he contemplated a second journey to Italy where he had found refuge from his previous unhappiness. The prospect of Christiane sconfinement probably prevented his carrying out his intention, but in the spring of the following year an opportunity came and he decided to avail himself of it. The Duchess A malia, who had been on a visit to Rome in company with Herder, was on VOL. II.
