Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Lyrical Poems of Hugo Von Hofmannsthal

The entire volume is brought out by the kind permission of Herr von Hofmannsthal through his publishers, the Insel Verlag, Leipsic.

These translations aim at being as true to the spirit, more particularly the mood, of the originals as possible. They are fairly literal, the changes being mainly in the order of words in a phrase. Very occasionally whole lines have been transposed. The metres and rhyme-schemes are, with slight exceptions, as nearly identical as possible. As Hofmannsthal's poetry is so notably compressed and full of meaning, it is hoped that these translations, together with the Introduction, may enable some of those who already know him in the original to see even more in his work than they have already done.
