Poetical Works of Friedrich Schiller (Classic Reprint)

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.
