Goethe used the landscapes of two spas as the background of his story : the Egerland where he visited a volcano with Sylvie von Ziegesal, and Bad Pyrmont where Charlotte von Stein had stayed for convalescence. As the latter's birthday coincides with that of Newton, a Newtonlike " mason" celebrates "Charlotte's birthday". The ceremony on"Ottilie's birthday" caricatures the Birth of Venus with allusions to the contemporary anatomy, to the physics of foam (Young) and to the astronomy of Cassini and Laplace ; its unspecified date suggests a combination of the dates of the discoveries of Uranus and uranium with those of St. Odile's feast day and of Minna Herzlieb's birthday. Ottilie is thus opposed to"Luciane" as Aphrodite Urania to Aphrodite Pandemos in a quasi-Platonic manner."Eduard's birthday"is not celebrated, for it would imply the delivery of the Earth (= Eduard) from the Catholic geocentricism. Eduard's "gardener"is confronted with Ottilie's unreliable floriculture (parallax and aberration of light) and with the unfamiliar new stellar" catalogs" ; like George III who supported Hanoverian astronomers, he is bothered also with Luciane's Napoleonic vandalism while expecting the florescence of aster(oid)s. The"boat" on the womblike lake undergoes quasi-embryonic metamorphoses from balloons and hydraulic pumps to the vessel for dissolution experiments.
