How to understand it
There is a super-national republic of thought and art, to the great German members and masters of which my debt is incalculable, and that their country should admit my claim to he a member of it is a triumph which enables me to face with blushing all the eulogies and congratulations showered on me on the first birthday I have ever celebrated and the last I intend ever to celebrate.
There are problems to me in understanding the above sentence. First, Does "of which my debt..." mean that my debt of which is incalculable or my debt is incalculable of which? Second, "admit my claim to he..." , why not use "him" ?
