Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eine´s Book of Songs OF all Heine´s works, the ´Book of Songs´ is by far the most popular. It contains some of his most exquisite songs and lyrical poems, and some of the best examples of his power of dealing with a dramatic incident in ballad form ; as well as many things much less happy in taste, feeling, and even in execution, which serve as foils to his more perfect work. Yet even in the worst pieces in this volume he usually remains a master of his craft as a lyrical poet. His verses go trippingly on the tongue, except when, as in some of the satirical Sonnets, he is wilfully uncouth, and seems with a cynical enjoyment to heap together all the most cacophonous sounds the German language can produce ; and when, as in some of the * North Sea ´ poems, the sentiment becomes banal, and the unrhymed lyrical metres approach perilously near ungainly prose. It is wonderful with what endless variety of feeling he treats the main subject of the ´Book of Songs´ - Love. Whether it be the love of a lifetime, or the transient passion of a day, the emotion, however complex in its blending of jest and earnest, pathos and mockery, is expressed in every nuance with a dramatic sincerity and simplicity of diction, in which every word tells, making the verse a living thing - vivid in feeling, and exquisitely appropriate in rhythmical form and cadence.
