John Hollander presents a fresh selection of Emma Lazarus's
powerful verse, including the iconic poem that welcomes visitors to
the Statue of Liberty, "The New Colossus."
"The Rabbi of Bacharach" is an unfinished novel by German writer
Heinrich Heine (1799-1856). It describes the life of Rabbi Abraham
and his wife Sara at the end of the Middle Ages in the small town
of Bacharach on the Rhine and in the Jewish quarter of Frankfurt on
the Main. --- The book also contains a "Biographical Sketch" of the
life of Heinrich Heine by Emma Lazarus. --- "During the period of
his earnest labors for Judaism, Heine] had buried himself with
fervid zeal in the lore of his race, and had conceived the idea of
a prose-legend, the Rabbi of Bacharach, illustrating the
persecutions of his people during the middle ages. ... Heine, one
of the most subjective of poets, treats this theme in a purely
objective manner. He does not allow himself a word of comment, much
less of condemnation concerning the outrages he depicts. He paints
the scene as an artist, not as the passionate fellow-sufferer and
avenger that he is. But what subtle eloquence lurks in that
restrained cry of horror and indignation which never breaks forth,
and yet which we feel through every line, gathering itself up like
thunder on the horizon for a terrific outbreak at the end " (Emma
Lazarus)
