Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Romance in Song: Heine's Lyrical Interlude
IN 1823 Heine published a volume containing two trage dies, Almansor and Ratcliff, and, between them, the present collection of poems. He called these songs a Lyrical Inter lude, a name perhaps designed to suggest not merely their position in the book, but also the inferior esteem in which, at the time, he held them, as the slighter products of his genius. Nevertheless, they have given him a fame which must last as long as youth and love and disappointment ex ist in the World; while the plays, which he regarded as worthy of more serious appreciation, have passed into oblivion.
