Excerpt from Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 3 of 31 When the great historic events of the time took place, and over threw all existing conditions, this inner restlessness drove him to and fro without purpose or will. One day he was enthusiastic over Voss's idyls, the next he was carried away by Robespierre's wildest speeches. One year he adopted Kant's Christian name Immanuel in' transport over his works, the next he called the great philosopher an empty nut, and moreover hard to crack. The romanticism in Denmark as well as in Germany reduced him to a state Of utter confusion; but in spite of this he continued a child of the Old order, which was already doomed. And with all his unrest and discord he remained nevertheless the champion Of form, the poet of the graces, as he has been called.
