1819
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
1819
A collection of poems written in the late 18th century. The work reflects Goethe’s fascination with Persian culture, particularly the poetry of Hafiz, and serves as a bridge between Eastern and Western literary traditions. The collection is divided into several thematic books, addressing topics such as love, spirituality, and existential contemplation, invoking a sense of dialogue between cultures. At the start of the collection, the opening portion introduces the ''Buch des Sängers,'' where the poet draws on themes of nature, spirituality, and the interplay of love and longing. Goethe uses rich imagery and metaphorical language to evoke a sense of yearning for the East, represented as a realm of purity and enlightenment. The verses suggest a journey through various landscapes and experiences, where the voice of the narrator expresses both a quest for meaning and a celebration of the beauty found in love and art. This opening sets the stage for the diverse themes explored throughout the work, blending personal reflection with broader cultural and philosophical ideas.
