Not a mere compilation, "Blessed Longing" traces the development of
Goethe's lyric poetry as an organic-dynamic unity, through numerous
representative samples of both well known and more intimate
occasional poems. The translations are in verse and reflect as
accurately as possible the rich diversity of Goethe's own meter,
while dispensing with the restrictive artifice of rhyme to avoid
the occasional "stuffiness" of traditional translations. The goal
was not only to make Goethe's individual achievements accessible to
English speakers, but to present to them a full and varied picture
of Goethe the man and the poet.
