The Poems of Schiller — Third period

"The Poems of Schiller — Third Period" by Friedrich Schiller is an assembly of verses probably made from the late 1700s to the early 1800s, mirroring the warm feelings, loveliness, and natural world related to Romanticism. The collection holds a varied set of subjects like love, desires, and the search for beauty, all communicated through Schiller's detailed language. Featured poems include explorations of human feelings, often cleverly linked to aspects of nature or old stories, capturing what it means to be human. The beginning of the group introduces several poems that show the connection between love and nature, for example, "The Meeting," where a lover looks at someone they adore and is overcome by beauty, sparking their creative side. The topic of yearning carries on in "The Secret," where a hidden love fights against the looks of the world, followed by "The Assignation," which shows what it's like to wait and worry during a possible romantic time. Each written work reflects on deep emotional situations, mixing personal feelings with wider thoughts, setting readers up for a series that tries to perfectly capture how grand our emotions can be in diverse forms.
