Summary: Gorgeous
Comment: David Constantine has achieved the near-impossible. His translations take us to the core of Holderlin's psyche, with all it's passion and grief and mystery. Earlier translations of Holderlin aimed for accuracy and lost the deep compassion in this poet's work. If you've never read Holderlin before, or gave up because of the ridgidity and obfuscation of the translation, get this book. The beauty of Constantine's work truly reflects the poet's great heart.

Summary: Hölderlin, bigger than the world
Comment: If you want to read the world from the hands of a mad man. Hölderlin, a mad man, a heart full of love and patience, is writing to truth about it. You can feel the air of darkness, the blindness of humanbeings. The traditional loneliness comes after him, but pure and without the pain. The only pain in Hölderlin is to live. The room full of all kinds of flowers, dust, rain and purity. If you are looking the meaning of poetry, you can find it where it once belong to.
