| Summary |
"Stehe von Lichtern gestreichelt: Gedichte" by Kasimir Edschmid is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century, around the years leading up to World War I. The book explores themes of love, beauty, and the ephemeral nature of life, typical of modernist poetry during that period. Edschmid's verses are infused with vivid imagery and emotional depth, making his work resonate with feelings of nostalgia and longing. The poems within this collection present a tapestry of scenes and emotions, capturing moments of passion, heartbreak, and vivid observations of nature and life. Edschmid employs rich metaphorical language, offering readers glimpses into the complexities of human experience, an exploration of physical and emotional landscapes, and interactions reminiscent of mythical and historical contexts. Through evocative symbols and rhythmic elegance, the poet immerses himself and the reader in a world of sensory richness, inviting contemplation on the interplay between reality and the ephemeral nature of existence.
