Good writers, but German poetry is pretty pathetic when compared to even a minor Romance language like Portuguese. Compare it to Italian, French, or Latin and German is absolutely piss-poor. German isn't one of the great poetic languages. Russian is even worse.

The translation is atrocious. You can't understand Hegel through translation. Learn German. But also don't learn German. Learn French and read more poetry, less philos*phy.

I respect that. The good thing about learning French is that it opens up one of the greatest poetic traditions of all time. I think you'll find it quite rewarding. Pic very much related.

Everyone in pic related, esp. Baudelaire and Mallarmé.
