The secret to the brilliance of this post is that you'll never actually come back to /lit/ if you follow its advice, which is the real key to succeeding in life.

Holderlin was too gay for me. I couldn't finish his Hyperion, maybe it was a bad translation (Spanish)

[Anonymous No.16283741]

>>16282720
He was actually 22, still based though.

[Anonymous No.16283990]

>>16281916
Hölderlin was probably the best poet since the ancients. Novalis is also amazing, though.
