"The Poems of Schiller — First period" by Friedrich Schiller is a compilation of poems from the late 1700s that captures the spirit of the German Romantic era. The verses explore big ideas like love, conflict, the natural world, and what it means to be human, diving into the highs and lows of life and relationships. Characterized by its emotional depth and musical sound, Schiller's poetry includes poems like "Hector and Andromache," portraying the bittersweet farewell between lovers amidst war, and "The Infanticide," highlighting the heavy themes of guilt and sorrow through a mother's eyes.
