One of Germany's greatest poets, Johann Christian Friedrich Holderlin (1770-1843) was also a prose writer of intense feeling, intelligence and perception. This new translation of selected letters and essays traces the life and thoughts of this extraordinary writer. Holderlin's letters to friends and fellow writers such as Hegel, Schiller and Goethe describe his development as a poet, while those written to his family speak with great passion of his beliefs and aspirations, as well as revealing money worries and, finally, the tragic unravelling of his sanity. These works examine Holderlin's great preoccupations - the unity of existence, the relationship between art and nature and, above all, the spirit of the writer.
At a moment like this man forgets both himself and the God and, in a sacred manner, of course, turn himself round like a traitor. - For at the most extreme edge of suffering, nothing exists besides the conditions of time of space.
Man forgets himself there because he is wholly in the moment; and God, because he is nothing else than time. Amd both are unfaithful: time, because at such a moment it resverses categorically - beginning and end simly cannot be connected; and man, bacause at this moment he must follow the categorical reversal, and therefore simply cannot be in the following what he was at the beginning.

太好的译文，清晰、强力，好过Pfau版。"Thus stands Haemon in the Antigone. And thus Oedipus himself at the centre of the tragedy of Oedipus."

只读了其中的书信部分，不难读而且非常非常美。P44提到第一次见到歌德，对他的描述 “Calm, with majesty in his eyes...” 最喜欢他给朋友Neuffer写的信，另外和黑格尔的通信里有一些哲学探讨（对于哲学研究者可能有帮助）
