Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sintram His Companions The question may have arisen from time to time as to whether a poet has drawn his imaginative creations from earlier works, or whether they have sprung from some other source of inspiration. The point is by no means without interest, as it seems to me, and I think that when an author is able to speak clearly about it, he is wise, he is even in a certain sense bound to share this knowledge with his readers. Hence the following account. A few years ago I found a fine copperplate engraving by Albrecht Dürer among my birthday gifts. A knight in armour, with an old, worn face, riding a great horse and followed by his dog, is passing through a dreadful valley, where the clefts of rock and the tree roots distort themselves into hideous forms. The ground is thickly carpeted with poisonous toadstools, and evil serpents crawl in and out among them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
