Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Masterpieces of the World´s Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 6: The Great Authors of the World With Their Master Productions Claudius, Matthias, a German poet; born at Reinfield, in Hoistein, August 15, 1740; died in Hamburg, January 21, 1815.He studied at Jena, and afterward at Wandsbeck, near Altona, where, under the name of Asmus, he published a weekly periodical called "Der Wandsbecker Bote." He belongs to the romantic school of German literature. He formed a strong attachment for the town of Wandsbeck, and refused to accept any appointment which required him to settle elsewhere. He gave to the world, through "Der Wandsbecker Bote," a large number of prose essays and poems, written in very pure and simple German. His style appealed strongly to the popular taste, and some of his poems have become genuine folk songs. In some of them is a vein of broad humor approaching burlesque, while others are full of solemn sentiment and quiet meditation. His later works are graver, through the influence, perhaps, of Klopstock, of whom he was a great admirer. He became a strict pietist, and allowed only the soberest side of his character to show in his work. Instead of stirring the German heart with a "Rheinweinlied, as had been his earlier wont, he translated the works of Saint Martin and Fenelon for their thought and discipline. He was appointed Comptroller of the bank of Altona in 1778. He published a collection of his works under the title "Asmus Omnia Sua Secum Portans, oder Sammtliche Werke des Wandsbecker Boten." His biography has been written by Herbst. Philosophy At Jena. (From "Der Wandsbecker Bote;" translated by W. Fleming Stevenson.) I have been at the University, and studied: well, I didn´t study, but I was at the University, and I know all about it. I was acquainted with some students, and they were the whole University to me. The students sat together on benches, as if they were at church; and by the window there was a stool, and there sat the professor, and delivered about this thing and the other all kinds of addresses, and they called that teaching.
