Schillers Lied Von Der Glocke In Bildern Von Ludwig Richter With Extracts From The Text PDF Download

Excerpt from Schillers Das Lied Von Der Glocke: With Introduction, Notes and Vocabulary Its substance is typical of all of Schiller's poetry, thoughtful and earnest, but it excels in its simplicity and in the absence of the deep, metaphysical notions that characterize many of his poems. The ideas con cern the common experiences of life. They possess a human interest that appeals to our sympathies and awakens the tenderest emotions. This explains the great popularity of the poem in Germany, which causes Diintzer to remark: No lyric poem is so firmly fixed in the affections of our people as this very song, which expresses with purity and hearty animation the main features of our domestic and civic life. It gains an added interest as a portrayal of the simple, virtuous life in Germany a hundred years ago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
