Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 9
As a young officer he belonged to a romantic brotherhood calling itself The Polar Star, which counted among its members his life long friend Hitzig, Alexander zur Lippe, Varnhagen, and other young writers of the day. He diligently applied himself to the mastery of the German tongue, made translations of poems and dramas, and to relieve the irksomeness of his military life incessantly studied Homer. His most ambitious literary effort of this time was a 'faust' a metaphysical, somewhat sophomoric attempt, but the only one of his early poems that he admitted into his collected works.
