Mögen wir im ersten Frühlinge unsere Birschgänge beginnen, um zu versuchen, ob es sich der Mühe bereits lohnt dieselben wieder mit grast zu betreiben, oder mögen wir, die letzten Tage des Herbstes noch benützend, vor der allgemeinen Thorsperre des Winters einen letzten oder allerletzten Abschiedsbesuch der Natur abstatten, in der wir in vergangenen Sommer manch angenehme Stunde verbracht eine Gruppe von Smmen werden mir stets antreffen, “Schwerfällig hocfend in der Blühte, rummeln, Das Contraviolon die trägen Hummeln”

Phantastes Chapter 22: Titan: A Romance, Jean Paul

German Romantic and Other Influences

Jean Paul (Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, 1763-1825) was a German writer. Titan (1800-1803) is a four-volume novel in the Bildungsroman (novel of education) tradition. Schoppe is the friend of Albano (the main character), who searches for balance in his life. Schoppe, however, is a cynic and pessimist and dies after he thinks he see his doppelgänger, but who is, in fact, his look-alike friend. Schoppe’s tragic ending reinforces the death of the brothers in Phantastes.
