Summary
Hermann Hesse: Poems
"Hesse, the poet, yearns for the Golden Age of man in which righteous kings ruled, wisdom and goodness, harmony and beauty were part of the simplicity of existence, and tranquility and happiness were obtained as a votive reward by the very act of birth. Hence, Hesse's poems are full of longing and pain, but also of solemn tones when he evokes images of the long past times..."
