DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Poetical Works of Friedrich Schiller I claim no more for the following translations than that they are a tolerably faithful rendering of the original poems of Schiller. I have made no attempt to seize upon Schiller's supposed meaning and clothe it in language of my own. My object has been to reproduce not only Schiller's thoughts, but Schiller's method of describing those thoughts, as accurately as was consistent with a change of language and the exigencies of verse. Where Schiller used the Elegiac metre, that metre has been adhered to in the translation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Complete Works of Friedrich Schiller: Aesthetical and Philosophical Essays First, then, aesthetics has for its object the vast realm of the beautiful. And it may be most adequately defined as the philosophy of art or of the fine arts. To some the definition may seem arbitrary, as excluding the beautiful in nature; but it will cease to appear so if it is remarked that the beauty which is the work of art is higher than natural beauty, because it is the offspring of the mind. Moreover, if, in conformity with a certain school of modern philosophy, the mind be viewed as the true being, including all in itself, it must be admitted that beauty is only truly beautiful when it Shares in the nature of mind, and is mind's offspring. Viewed in this light, the beauty of nature is only a reflection of the beauty of the mind, only an imperfect beauty, which as to its essence is included in that of the mind. Nor has it ever entered into the mind of any thinker to develop the beautiful in natural objects, so as to convert it into a science and a system. The field of natural beauty is too uncertain and too uctuating for this pur pose. Moreover, the relation of beauty in nature and beauty in art forms a part of the science of aesthetics, and finds again its proper place.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Complete Works of Friedrich Schiller in Eight Volumes, Vol. 1 of 8 A nation like the one before us invariably takes its first steps with doubts and uncertainty, to move afterwards only the more rapidly for its previous hesitation. I pro posed, therefore, to follow the same method in describing this rebellion. The longer the reader delays on the intro duction the more familiar he becomes with the actors in this history, and the scene in which they took a part, so much the more rapidly and unerringly shall I be able to lead him through the subsequent periods, where the accumulation of materials will forbid a slowness of step or minuteness of attention.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Poems of Schiller: Complete If a translator from the German Classics be so fortu nate as to attract but a single reader by his labors, Who will follow him with ever growing interest, Who will learn to appreciate an Author interpreted by him, so as to induce such a study of the language as will furnish a free perusal of S'chi-ller as Schiller wrote it; then is the translator well repaid for his arduous, and somewhat un thankful task; then 18 his mission, in a great measure), ful filled. A metaphrase, if at all poetical, has generally been preferred to a paraphrase. So we consider Schiller a model approaching too near perfection, to be improved by any translator, however great as an Author. Although we admire grace and brilliancy of diction not less than the most fastidious, yet, when it becomes absolutely nec essa'ry to make a sacrifice, either of the poetry or the sense, in a poetical translation, we would far rather see the senti ment correctly rendered, though not b1eath1n0' the high est poetry, than something the Author never said or meant, most exquisitely expressed - ea fhomely truth being prefer able to a gilded falsehood.
