I’m not saying this is an accurate depiction nor is this my opinion, for example I would object to any idea of “pureness” and “wholeness” as if it would ever make sense to achieve, I just find it interesting as it has been written well before two world wars (published 1797) And it certainly contains some truth.
Remember that many Germans emigrated to the US shortly after, for better or worse.
Sorry for not being able to provide a translation, you will add that 🙂

For those among you wondering about how Germany originated, may I point to a text by Friedrich Hölderlin: https://www.projekt-gutenberg.org/hoelderl/hyperion/hyper411.html
