---------- 2021-02-14 18:07 projectID5e117feba49bb_smooth_avail.zip uploaded by okrick “The Netherlander likes his fun pretty obvious, and not too concentrated. And the main characteristic of the said fun is its breadth,--or rather what the Germans call Breite, for the English word by no means conveys exactly the same idea. "Long-windedness" alone does not express it; Coleridge's "nimiety or too-mucbness" (which he calls a characteristic fault in the German literary temperament) is much nearer the mark. It is long-windedness combined with infinite multiplicity of detail,--a gossipy, good-humoured, complacent triviality, which is the essence of boredom. Voss's "Luise" (which poem we doubt whether any British person now living has read through) is a shining example of the quality. Nothing is left to the reader's imagination--everything, and the reason for everything, is described and explained at full length, till the best ideas are swamped in floods of formless verbiage.” | ||||
