I love these two beautiful poems Neckar a major tributary of the Rhine river and Brevity! The Neckar Der Nekar "In your valleys my heart awakened to life, Your small waves played around me, And of all the gracious hills that know you, Wanderer, not one is foreign to me. Often on your peaks, the air of heaven Relieved the pain of my labors, and from the valley, Like life from the cup of original joy, A silver and blue wave glittered. The mountain streams hurried down to you; With them came my I love these two beautiful poems Neckar a major tributary of the Rhine river and Brevity!
The mountain streams hurried down to you; With them came my heart, and you carried us along The calm and lofty Rhine, to your Cities below and pleasure-giving islands. When the pomegranate ripens, when in the green night An orange shines, resin drips From mastic trees and the kettledrum and cymbal Resound throughout the labyrinth-dances. Perhaps to you, my islands, my guardian god One day will take me. When in your youthful Days of hope, you wanted your singing Never to come to an end?
My joy is like my song.

Feb 08, Jeremy rated it really liked it Shelves: His poetry had tremendous impact on a number of philosophers I've read and enjoyed, including Hegel and Schelling his seminary roommates but later on Heidegger, Benjamin, Adorno, Foucault, Blanchot and others. But I'd never read any of his work until recently.
I'm not sure, as a relatively untrained reader of poetry, I really took from it all I could. To my untrained ear, much of the poetry sounded dated and somewhat inaccessible.
Selected Poems and Fragments
Still, there was a numinous quality that piqued my curiosity. I found myself wanting a bit more of an introduction, or perhaps a class or lecture to help me appreciate it more fully. Nevertheless, I am sure that I will come back to this book again, as I already feel a bit haunted by a few of the pieces.
I'm not reviewing this particular edition of Hamburger's translations of Holderlin but the Penguin edition which strangely doesn't seem to be on the Goodreads list.

The Penguin is probably only about half the size of this particular edition. On that note let me give my thoughts on this poet and translator. Is it best to read an introduction to a poet or writer and then following the work itself? In regards to this poet Gerard De Nerval is another I would say no, the reason being once you read I'm not reviewing this particular edition of Hamburger's translations of Holderlin but the Penguin edition which strangely doesn't seem to be on the Goodreads list.
In regards to this poet Gerard De Nerval is another I would say no, the reason being once you read of the man's life you're going to take a highly coloured impression into the verse itself. Whatever Holderlin wrestled with is very much in the verse. That being said his Odes and Hymns are absolutely magnificent. I found myself, when it was possible, reaching for this volume right after breakfast, sometimes before.
The volume is broken down into the type of poetry and I found, upon finishing a section, that rather than move on I would begin the finished section all over again.

I just did not want to finish the book. Holderlin does fit within the general contours of romanticism but there is a finely chiseled lucidness to his poetry that, at least for me, sets him apart. His verse varies from the very brief to the almost epic. Rene Char adored him which should give you some idea of the vitality that dances behind the words. Highly recommended, possibly to be read and contrasted with Leopardi, ideally the recent FSG edition.
Like most Holderlin came by way of philosophy. This book is a fabulous German to English collection of poems and fragments. Found it remarkably current and insightful. Feb 13, Edward rated it it was amazing Shelves: Amazing, amazing poet and thinker. Feb 24, David Hinton rated it really liked it.
If you haven't read Holderlin yet but love poetry, please be sure to check him out. This is an excellent collection of his poems with very good translations. And, with a Caspar David Friedrich painting on the cover, it is a good addition to your collection of German Romanticism. For once he loved like the gods, and no more is needed Sep 08, Gpdimonderose giacintho rated it it was amazing Shelves: If you like Holderlin, this book has pages of poems and fragments. Originals are on the opposite page. Jul 02, Mike rated it really liked it. One of my favorite Romantic poets.
