| Summary | "The Poems of Schiller — Third Period" by Friedrich Schiller is a collection of lyrical poetry likely written in the late 18th century to early 19th century, reflecting the Romantic ideals of emotion, beauty, and nature. The anthology encompasses a wide range of themes, including love, longing, and the idealistic pursuit of beauty, all expressed through Schiller's rich and evocative language. Notable poems include explorations of human experiences and emotions, often metaphorically tied to nature or mythological themes, capturing the essence of the human spirit. The opening of the collection introduces several poems that richly illustrate the interplay between love and nature, such as "The Meeting," where a lover gazes upon a beloved figure and is overtaken by beauty and inspiration, igniting his creative spirit. The theme of longing continues in "The Secret," where a concealed love struggles against the world's scrutiny, followed by "The Assignation," which portrays the anticipation and uncertainties of a romantic encounter. Each piece reflects on profound emotional landscapes, interlacing personal sentiment with broader philosophical reflections, setting the stage for a collection that seeks to capture the divine beauty of human emotions in various forms.
