Text Appearing Before Image:
Among the best of his lyric poems are "The Rose", "the Lily",
"the Dove", "the Sun" , "On the Wings of Song", "Thou Art
Like a Flower", "The Sea Hath Its Pearls". Many of his
ballads and narrative pieces have great charm, as "The
Lorelei", "The Princess Sabbat", "Jehuda ben Halevy",
"Wicked Dreams", "The Pilgrimage to Kevlaar", "The
Island Bimini". His "North Sea and Return to Home"
are cycles of song, celebrating the mystery and great-
ness of the sea. Many of his poems which open sweetl
yallow a sudden discord to enter and destroy the charm.
In his prose Heine set himself forth as an enemy of
Philistinism, that dull, narrow-minded adherence to con-
ventional ideas in literature and art. But he abused hi
spower of ridicule, directing it not merely against pedants
and hidebound critics, but against the masters in litera-
ture and philosophy. His Romantic School was a vio-
lent blow against the monstrosities and absurdities into
which that school had fallen. His "Pictures of Travel"
is his chief prose work, and contains every variety of
description, from simple narrative to satirical caricature.

THE SUABIAN POETS

As an offshoot from the Romantic School there arose
a group which has been called the Suabian School, its
modest leader being Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862). He
was born at Tübingen, and after studying law, became
a professor of literature in the university of his native
town. His has been called the Classic of Romanticism,
to denote that while affected by the Romantic spirit, here
turned to the moderation of the Classic School. No
frightful phantasms or shadowy monsters appear in his
ballads. His figures are usually simple, poetic types of
German nationality, children of the Black Forest, fair
shepherds, and mountain boys. To the experiences of
common life he imparts a warm imaginative coloring. In
his poems of the Middle Ages there is the same natural
beauty, far apart from the mystical and supernatural
favored by the extreme Romanticists. His heroes of early
times possess the genuine German nature, strong, brave,
good humored, patient, faithful.
