unwelcome addition to the apparatus of teaching elemen-
tary German. Opportunity is hère taken to express the
editor's thanks to his colleague, Professor F. H. Wilkens,
to Professor Ernst Ilgen and Dr. K. E. Richter of the
Collège of the City of New York, and to Mr. O. J. Oswald,

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Yottth. — Paul Heyse, one of the greatest of modem
story-tellers, was born in Berlin on March 15, 1830. His
father and grandfather were distinguished grammarians
and teachers, while his mother was the daughter of a
well-to-do Jewish family. At an early âge Heyse entered
the Friedrich'Wilheltn Gymnasiutn in his native city,
from which he graduated in 1847 with a good record,
except in mathematics. As a school boy he had written
some lyric poetry showing the influence of Heine, Eichen-
dorff and Geibel, and had finished a tragedy called Don
Juan de Padilla,

At the University. — He then entered the University
of Berlin and devoted himself mostly to classical philo-
logy under Lachmann and Boeckh. But Kugler's lectures
and personality attracted him to the history of art, and
it was largely for this purpose that he entered the Univer-
sity of Bonn in the spring of 1849. He even thought of
writing his doctoral dissertation upon a related subject.
In this beautiful old Rhine town he spent his flrst semes-
ter rather in. becoming acquainted with men and things
than in attending many lectures or studying many books.
During the autumn vacation of his fîrst year at Bonn he
made a ten days' foot-tour in Switzerland. What a vivid

vi BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

impression it made upon him is seen in his autobiography.
When he returned to Bonn, he took up his collège work
more earnestly. Not being interested in KinkePs lectures
on the history of painting or in Brandis's courses in
aesthetics, he turned to the study of romance philology
under the gifted Diez, who was then lecturing on Dante.
He came under the influence also of the acute thinker
Jacob Bernays, who directed him to a more careful study
of Shakespeare, Gœthe and Spinoza. After two years'
further study at Berlin, he secured his doctorate in May,
1852, with a thesis entitled, Uber den Refrain in den
Liedem der Troubadours,

During his university days his literary activity in-
créased a good deal. Besides some short epics and some
Màrchen^ which he published^to help defray his collège
expenses, he wrote a tragedy called Francesca von
Riminiy at which the prudes made big eyes, a volume
of translations of Spanish lyrics (in partnership with
Geibel), and several short stories of which Marion is
the best.

A year in Italy. — In the summer of 1852 he was
delighted at securing a stipend of five hundred thaler
to go to Italy and copy the unpublished Provençal
manuscripts. Fortunately his friend, Otto Ribbeck, later
the distinguished classical scholar, had been commis-
sioned by the Berlin Academy to colla te the Italian
manuscripts for a new édition of Vergil. After brief but
interesting visits at Milan, Genoa, Pisa, and Florence,
the two friends arrived at Rome in October, 1852. Hère
Heyse, rather against bis desires, lived in tbe bouse of

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH vii

an eccentric and scholarly uncle. When Heyse went
about his work of copying the unpublished Provençal
manuscripts in the Vatican library, he was surprised to
find that, while he might examine the manuscripts and
make a few cursory notes, a library rule forbade his
copying thera. This was a serions matter. The rilse he
tried of having his Mahn*s édition of the troubadours
interleaved with blank paper, so that he could copy thèse
unpublished poems while pretending to make cursory
notes in his book, failed and he was forbidden the privi-
lèges of the library. He was permitted however to make
copies of unprinted manuscripts in other Italian libraries.
Besides enjoying thoroughly the Roman treasures of art
and antiquities he was intensely interested in the Italian
people. He mingled with them and studied the varions
types with the eye of an artist.

Early in the spring of 1853 he was seriously ill, but
after partial recovery he and Ribbeck journeyed south
to Naples and Sorrento, where the sunny Italian spring
restored the young poet's health. It was hère on the
famous island of Capri that he spent two weeks with
Joseph Viktor von Schefïel, who was then working on his
Trompeter von Sàkkingen. They read and worked and
walked together, and became fast friends. It was hère
that Heyse wrote his famous story of VArrabhiata^
whose characters he sketched from life as it moved
before him.

After another month in Rome he left with Ribbeck
early in June, 1853, for a five weeks' stay in Florence,
wbere manuscripts were tç bç examined ii) the librsuries,

viii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Thèse were delightful days for Heyse, full of work ajid
sightseeing and writing. Then came short visits àt
Modena, Reggio, Parma, Mantua, with a week's stop at
Verona, whence they went to Venice. In the library
of St. Mark's Heyse found some very interesting old
troubadour songs. Late in August they traveled rapidly
through Tyrol to Germany, where Heyse met his parents
and the family of his betrothed, Margarete Kugler, in the
Palatinate.

The Call to Munich. — When Heyse returned to Ber-
lin in the autumn of 1853, he again took up his romance
philology, looking toward an académie career, but he
hoped to be able later to earn his bread entirely by his
pen. In the foUowing March a letter came inviting hini
to the court of the young art-loving king, Maximilian II
of Bavaria, who offered him one thousand gulden a year
to join the King*s Round Table of poets and artists.
Geibel, who had been two years in Munich and had
much influence with the king, had inspired this invita-
tion. Heyse's short visit of inspection was satisfactory
to him, and after being presented to Maximilian, the
poet accepted the gênerons offer, returned to Berlin and
was married on May 15, 1854, to Margarete Kugler.
The young couple arrived in Munich a couple of weeks
later, and Heyse laid before his new liège lord a copy of
his VArrabbiata as a sample of what he could do.

King Haximilian's Symposia. — Attendance at the
king's symposia was about the only duty required of
the members of this Round Table, except that each was
of course expected to continue to produce. Thèse sym-

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH ix

posia were more or less informai meetings, conforming
however to the external requirements of court usage, in
which the members read such of their own or of others'
productions, as the king desired to bring up. A quite
informai gênerai discussion followed, in which not ooly
literature but also politics, science, music, architecture,
etc., were talked over. Béer, wine, sandwiches and cigars
were served. Thèse meetings were called every week or
so by the king. During the first half ofthe year 1855
no less than forty-three symposia were held. This wa&
the Round Table of the so-called "Munich School" of
poets, including Geibel, Bodenstedt, Heyse, Dingelstedt,
Lingg, Grosse and Greif. In gênerai they stood for that
careful considération of form that marks Geibel's lyrics.
They show no great virility. Heyse was by far the most
versatile of them ail.

The poet was also a member of two literary clubs in
his early Munich days, the first, called Die Ecke^ a sort
of neighborhood meeting, which the ladies also attended,
and the second, called Das Krokodil (from one of Lingg*s
poems), a more unrestrained gathering, open only to men
and meeting in one of the better béer gardens. Thèse
clubs brought the poets and their acquain tances together
for a free discussion of literary and other questions, and
in spite of the hot-headed Geibel finally resulted in a
better feeling between the local literary lights and their
foreign brethren. Scheffel visited the Krokodil in the
winter of 1857.

Heyse and Ludwig II. — Heyse continued to enjoy
the confidence and favor of King Maximilian II till the

X BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

latter's death on March lo, 1862, when Ludwig II came
to the throne. This eighteen year old youth continued
the pensions to some of his father's literary favorites in-
cluding Geibel and Heyse. But when in 1866 the royal
patron became vexed at some of GeibePs verses in honor
of William of Prussia on the occasion of the latter's visit
to Liibeck, Geibel's birthplace, Ludwig II had the poet's
pension eut off. Heyse at once gave up his, to the great
offense of the king. Later they became reconciled, but
Ludwig had meantime become interested in the great
composer-poet Richard Wagner and " the art work of the
future." The court influence of the "Munich school of
poets" was dead. Most of the poets themselves had left
Munich.

Later Life. — But the Bavarian capital has remained
Paul Heyse's home. Hère his children were born and
died. Hère he wrote most of the works that hâve made
him famous. His home at No. 22 Luisenstrasse is of the
good old-fashioned style — low, broad house amidst trees
and shrubs and flower gardens and a sunny lawn. Hère
this remarkably well preserved man works and lives —
alone, for ail of the friends of his youth and manhood
hâve passed away. His pen is still productive, his last
novel. Die Geburt der Venus^ appearing in 1909. His
eightieth birthday, March 15, 191 o, was celebrated by
his admirers throughout the literary world. Long may he
live!

Heyse's Works. — Paul Heyse's literary works are
divided into lyrics, taies in verse, short stories in prose,
npyçls, dr^Q^s and some translations. His yer^ç iç fio-

BXOGRAPMICAL SKETCH xi

ishedy brîllîant, full of color and harmony, but it never
reaches the lyric heights of such great singers as Goethe,
Heine, or Eichendorff. But none can deny its beauty.

Novels. — Of Heyse's novels, Kinder der Weît (1873),
Im Paradiese (1875), Roman der SHftsdame (1886),
Merlin (1892), Uber Allen Gipfeln (1895), and Die
Geburt der Venus (1909), the first is the best. Perhaps,
as Richard M. Meyer says, the short story writer has
stood in the way of the novelist: that is, the quickly
moving narrative, accustomed to stop when the climax
is reached fails to interest the reader so keenly in the
descending action. But in spite of ail adverse criticism,
deserved and undeserved, Heyse's novels are among the
best that Germany has produced.

Novellen in Versen. — He wrote some fifteen "novels
in verse," as he calls them, the first, Margherita SpoleHna^
appearing in ^849, while Heyse was still a student in
his teens, the last, Das Feenkind^ belonging to the year
1868. The most ambitions and the longest \% Thekla^
Ein Gedicht in neun Gesàngen. The character of thèse
little epics is very uneven but ail of them show unusual
mastery of language and metrical form. As to content,
some of them hâve no very strong moral foundation.
Perhaps Die Briider (1852), though short, is the best.
Urica (1851) is a pessimistic taie of love between black
and white.

Dramas. — Of his quite numerous dramas Die Sabine-
rinnen (1857) won the prize offered by Maximilian II,
but was never agréât success; his Hadrian (1865) stands
in the same category as Goethe's Tasso and Iphigenie but

xii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

at a very respectful distance, having beauty of form but
very little action ; his most popular play is Hans Lange
(i866), while his Co/âerg (iS6S) makes a hit on patriotic
occasions; his Wahrheiti (1^92) is poor enough. The
fact is, Heyse is a story teller, not a dramatist. Still in
the last few years his plays hâve received more favorable
criticism.

Novellen. — But it is in the short story, die Novelle^
in contradistinction to the novel, der Rotnan^ that Paul
Heyse stands prééminent. Beginning with Marion (1852),
and the beautiful VArrabbiata (1853), which latter made
him famous at twenty-three, continuing with Das Màd-
chen von Treppi (1855) and Anfang und Ende (1857),
scarcely a year has passed without at least one or two
successful stories from his facile pen, till now the number
runs above one hundred. But he has ne ver surpassed.
VArrabbiata^ in which he at once struclc the key-note of
a successful story: suprême interest, a situation not a
development, rapid action, beautiful, transparent lan-
guage, only a few characters but ail so well drawn that
they fairly live and breathe before our eyes. Harmony
aiïd beauty are the characteristics — little of the rugged,
angular strength of Kleist's Michael Kohlhaas. Heyse
himself demanded of the Novelle y^eine starke Silhouettes^
(a strong outline), and he put his theory into practice.
Among so many stories it is no wonder that keen-eyed
critics — whose works, by the way, will be no longer
thought of, when VArrabbiata is still read and loved —
hâve discovered that Heyse's greatest fault is that "The
poet forgets that the external appearance should be only

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH xiii

the key and symbol of the whole personality: he shows
us actions, behind which we seek in vain warm life, psy-
chology, connection in the higher sensé." (Richard M.
Meyer. Die deutsche Litteratur des neunzehnten Jahrhun-
derts. Berlin içoo.) But in spite of a few inferior stories,
in spite of one or two faults to be discovered perhaps in
several of them, still a score of them are admitted to be
models of their kind, and Paul Heyse has contributed
more than his fair share to the literature of the Nine-
teenth Centxuy.

NOTES

[The numbers in heavy-faced type refer to pages of the text ; the others to Unes.]

!• lo. ^ait^t • « • 9[ttgeit : accusatives absolute; often translated
by with and objective case in Ënglish. lo. Notice that auf takes
the accusative (bie $aitb) on account of gefttlt^t* The dative very
seldom occurs in this idiom. 13. Italie: dépendent subjunctive to
express uncertainty. 14. tl)r: dative, indirect object. 18. Begin
the translation with the toâl^retlb clause.

2* 1,2. i^r SBefett treiBen: (lit. conduct their being), trans. dwglL
9, 14. Note the différence between f^orett {disturb) and ^erftdtett
(dfstroy),

^* S- âtt $Slt|lten : note the f orm of the plural, regularly used in
this expression. What is the usual form? 12. ed: stands for Me
ST^ac^t ]^a6en, understood from above.

é. 22, 24, 25. gel^t — ergaitgen — gel^t: there is practically no
différence in meaning between the simple verb (gel^en) and the com-
pound (ergefien), when used, as hère, with the dative.

5* I. note ])eiratett, to take a wife or husband: er l^eiratet ba^
t^râulein (he marries the young woman) ; bcrl^eiratcn, to marry off: bec
SJatcr toitt bic îoc^tcr bcrl^ciraten {the father wants to marry off his
daughters) ; fi(§ ber^eirateit mit, to wed: bcr Çauptntûitn bcri^ctratet fic^
mit ber reicl^en (Srbtn (the captain weds the rich heiress). 9. l^âtte:
potential subjunctive in hypothetical dépendent clause. 10. btef(
3f||rc ^nft: trans. this art of y ours. 12, 13. tttt^eU: direct object.
1 5. ^ritten UUb $afen su \a^tn : it is difHcult to render this médio-
cre pun into English. %Mitn iagen, or more usually, ©rillen fangen,
means ta hâve the blues. Of course ^afen jagen is used in the literal
sensé. Perhaps it would do to translate the passage tê eatch rabbits
and the blues. 18, 19. iei mit tlOtandpfet^etl : (lit. to présuppose
with me), trans. as to présuppose I hâve.

60 NOTES

6. 3, 4- fo Wttn ®ie iti^t îaum m htu ^afixtn, Me « * . : trans.

tAen you hâve hardly reached ihe years, which ... 8. IBtttttt means
a betrothed woman before her marriage, not a bride, 20. gebtO^t
toitb : brol^en in the active voice takes the dative. The passive is
thus impersonal. The subject e§ is often omitted.

7* 4. ift geforgt: (compare note 69 20) another impersonal con-
struction in the passive. This verb does not however take the da-
tive. The subject e^ is omitted, because according to the rules of
Word order (inversion) it would hâve to foUow ift. In such cases c?
is omitted. 4. 9)^orgen mit bem friil^fteit : trans. to-morrow morning
bright and early, il. ttlte toeilanb ®anl, bet ^ti^XL beiS ^d: see
Bible: I Samuel 9. 11. toetlanb (Eng. whilom): an archaic word,
which gives the expression a quaint and Biblical and therefore hère
also somewhat humorous Sound. 12. Sftiigeit: the subjunctive of a
possible wish.

8. 8, 9. xii^é^ fo nanj frifd^ mid^ auleu^ten^ tote . . . : (Ut. s /une on

me yetjust as brightly) trans. seem to me even yetjust as brighty as . . .

12. fauit id^ mid^ ddOtg iu bte S^âitfdtung eiuf^inneit, atô . . . : (lit.

/ can entoil myseîf entirely in the delusion^ as . , ,) trans. / can lose
myself entirely in the delusion^ that ... 12,13. atô f â^C id^ : inverted
order because of omitted ob. 13, 14, 15. fôje . • • l^Stte • • • fal^eit :
why in the subjunctive? 17, 18. Her^tidfter ^nm|lf]^eit : trans. ec-
static absorption. 24. fofeltfatttfl^ttiaitletlb: Xx^jR&.withsuch peculiar
lightness,

9* 3. SBentt id^ ed Xvà, : note the différence between this and toenn
{(^ ed tâte. 7, 10. nttr bantm (9, 7) should be translated just before
its corrélative toeil (9, 10). 17. fjfaH: explain the case. 18, 19.
ei^ tOttb • • • feilt: the conjectural future, to be translated, it is
probably, ^ol^I is often used with this sort of future. 19. fo fe^t
nnt je ein: trans. as much as everany, 24. SBettlt: this is used, and
not afô, because the dépendent sentence expresses the répétition
of the occurrence. Compare afô, 10, 16.

10. 19. llittbet : an accusative in apposition with $aitd, although
boit regularly takes the genitive of a noun with an adjective, 21.

®ie {i^e^ett uod^ tm beften ^nbeitleti bei \^x : trans. she still has a very

pleasant re collection of you.

NOTES ^ 61

11. 3. ^ered^te éditer: trans.^^ Godst 14. j^d^ meitte ttoiit Me

®ïttt gtt f pitreit : trans. / imagine I sHll feel the glow,

12* 3. ^(ftuBiger: what would ber @)lâuMge mean? 5. bafitr:
stands for fiir bcn ©làubifler. 26. 3[|^ filr mcitt %t\U note the
gender. Xeil is nearly always masculine, but sometimes neuter in
the sensé of proper or due share, in some fîxed expressions like the
above, and in some other cases.

13. 18. BSfe feilt: bu btft ntir bbfe and \i\x btft bdfe auf mi(^ mean
about the same, i.^,j you are angry with me, 23. bie (Sotge: in the
accusative case with the adjective loS, which in earlier times took
the genitive. The graduai dropping of eê as à neuter genitive
caused people to view eS in such cases as t(^ bin e$ lod as an accusa-
tive. Then the new construction of loiS with the accusative even of
nouns, as hère ^orge, began to appear. 25. titttt: suhordinate con-
junction, meaning now that, since, Heyse uses nuit in this sensé
quite often.

14. 9» 10. bie ^iftoria : the defînite article is used hère in a ge-
neric sensé, because the noun is hère abstract. Omit the article in
Ënglish.

15* I. 9[m befteit: trans. it would be best 6. min an ethical
dative. Trans. / am sorry to say^ or, to my regret, 19. S3ci a!ÏCt
9[4tlttig: trans. with ail due respect, 25. ^ai^ befte luSte: trans.
the best plan would be,

10* 8. ttiai^ ttttr : trans. what in the world. 22. ($iS : this pronoun
is often used in German for a rather indefînite subject of a verb.
Trans. some one passed her door, 24. From this point to 20, 9,
Ileyse reveals to us Eugenie's musings about some of her girlhood
expériences, called to her mind by her unexpected meeting with
Valentine.

17. 5. menn: one would ordinarlly expect afô. The useof toentt
arises apparently from a confusion of time relations. The time of
toiebertam was in the future, when Eugénie as a girl was about to
leave home, and so she would then think of it in the form toentt t(^
tptebertotnnte. But now she is looking back upon it as an occur-
rence of the past and hence would naturally think of it in the form
ûtô tc^ toiebertam. From thèse two différent views of the same act

results the combined form occurring in the text. The translation
however offers no difficulties. 26. htë Xoht^ tUthUé^tn mftre : (lit.
had grown pale on account of death)^ trans. had died, %^ Xobei^ is a
genitive of cause, ©teri^en appears also with this genitive. 26.
fie ttiSre : the pupil might expect fo toute \\z. The form in the text
emphasizes the apodosis and may be translated by whyy she would
not . . . Other cases of this emphatic word order are to be found
in the text.

18* 6. feinettuegett : the position of this word emphasizes it
What is the usual position for it?

19. 20. (£y BefteKte : befteUen hère means to order or request the
servant to say^ etc. y or to leave word with the servant^ that^ etc. 25.
06 matt tl^tt bennod^ Hermigte: indirect questions often omit the
main sentence in German in cases, which require it in English.
Trans. he wondered whether . . . Compare 20, 19, and elsewhere.

20. 7. IBnneti: what position would this word hâve in prose?
24, 25. fo \îivX t^r $et$ Ko^e : auc^ might well be expected after
^er^, but it is not always used. @o laut should be translated however
loudly. Other cases of this occur and should be carefuUy watched
for.

21* 12. IS^elttb: avoid translating participles in such expres-
sions as this by forms in -ly^ as hère smilingly. Say with a smile.
15, 16. ^[^ret ^nderttlSl^Iten : the dative denoting /r<?»i which is
used with verbs of taking, stealing, withholding, and the like, some
of which are compounds with ent- or )Peg-, and some not. 17. fo»
Xùtii l^ieltt t trans. were as far as that^ or, had gotten as far as that.
21. Sttf meitt $EBort: this adverbial phrase, although placed first,
does not cause inversion, because it modifies not l^atte but a verb of
saying understood, upon which l^âtte dépends. Exclamations come
under this category.

22. 4. werbe l|alten Idttneti : the fînite verb toerbe does not stand
at the end of the sentence, although dépendent, because of the prés-
ence of the two infinitive forms ^alten f onnen. 6. alfo : an accurate
understanding of this little word so frequently used is not altogether
easy to get from books. It almost àlways dénotes some sort of
slight logical séquence. Hère it connects the continuation of Val-

may perhaps be rendered by as I was saying, ii, 12. 9)latt ttlfi^te

gerabeatt bad gaitje 92eft auf einmal aui^ne^mett : this is of course a

figurative use of the common expression io rob a bircTs nest^ but
means that it looked as though Valentine could not help falling in
love with ail three of the girls at the same time. 19. befte Sf^eun»'
bitt : it is of ten very difficult to translate exactly terms of address,
especially terms of endearment, because the tone or feeling of thèse
expressions is usually quite différent in the two languages. Best
friend would be a very poor translation. Eugénie would corne
pretty near to it hère, but is not quite friendly enough, while dear
Eugénie is a little too sweet. 22. gnitt ^ilffett : trans. swegi enough
to kiss, @tnb is understood.

former royal husband, taking Castile away from him; later she

29* 2. in bem $attfe emfftl^rett : with this verb the préposition

from analogy with bei einem einfit^ren, to introduce to one) means to

31* 4. l^abeit: in conversation and poetry the formai rules of
Word order are not always observed. In fact the placing of the
finite verb at the very end of the dépendent clause introduced by
tocnn, bafe, etc., is of comparatively récent origin. Luther*s Bible
(completed 1 534) has hundreds of exceptions, if one wishes to view
them as such. 15. WMât^ : Eduard Môrike (1804-187 5), novelist,

NOTES 66

poet, preacher and teacher, was one of the best poets and perhaps
the most original of the so-called Swabian School. His beautiful
short story, Sloaûtt auf bet Sîeife nac^ $rag (1856), made his réputa-
tion; his greatest novel, JOtaWx 3lolim (1832), is seldom read now.
As alyric poet he has been compared to CatuUus» Goethe and Keats.

17* bie „Wlonh\â^tinQàxitntintt einft ^eiligeuSieBe'': nosuch title

invention of Heyse's as a good>natured joke on Môrike's romantic
tendencies. 24. llotittit nur ticl^er, meitt l^unge : trans. coma right
alongy my boy, Sunge is the regular North German conversational

e$ nic^t toa^r? shortened into nic^t toal^r? placed after a statement,
in order to form a question as to its truth, as for example in £n-
glish: we will be good friends^ won^twe? But this interrogative ex-
pression nt(!^t XoaffC is also used to introduce a question, in which case
it is to be translated just as though it were at the end of the sen-

nently to <&ie (52, 12). The Doctor uses ^fjX (51, 18), which may
refer to both Eugénie and Valentine. This change from the more
formai <&te to the more familiar ^f)X expresses the greater intimacy
felt by the three, especially the Doctor and Valentine, at the exer-
