One of this man's poems mentions "in robe of mist, the oak" which "glared with a thousand gloomy eyes" and ends exclaiming "And, Gods, to love--what ecstasy!"
One of this man's poems mentions "in robe of mist, the oak" which "glared with a thousand gloomy eyes" and ends exclaiming "And, Gods, to love--what ecstasy!" This author of "Welcome and Farewell" entreats "tell no one but the wise... What is alive I want to praise, /What longs for death by fire" in his "Blessed Longing", which appears alongside "Reunion" from the "Book of Suleika" in a collection inspired by the poems of (*) Hafiz. Another collection features the creation of the goddess Opportunity and a love affair with Faustine, a stand in for Christiane Vulpius, while one of his poems remarks "The birds in the forest stopped talking" and that "Soon, done with walking,/you shall rest, too." Besides West-Eastern Divan, Roman Elegies, and the second of his "Wanderer's Nightsongs" he wrote a ballad in which a boy sings "My father, my father, can't you see there" and opens "Who rides, so late, through night and wind?" For 10 points, name this author of "Prometheus", "The Elf-King", and verse dramas like Faust, Part II.
