Title: Selected poems and fragments
Description: Friedrich Holderlin (1770-1843), regarded as one of the giants of German literature, produced a large body of lyric poetry and a novel, HYPERION, before becoming insane in 1802. His ode to the wife of a banker to whose children he was tutor and his hymns exploring cosmology and history are as extraordinary as the visionary lyrics of Blake and Yeats.
