Synopsis "Sonette (in German)"

"Entschlummert war der kleine Gott der Liebe, Zur Seit' ihm lag sein herzdurchglühnder Brand. Doch Nymphen, die entsagt dem hei en Triebe, Sie schlüpften her, und von der reinen Hand Der Schönsten, ward die Fackel ihm entführt, Die manch getreues Herz mit Gluth durchdrungen, Der König, der der Sehnsucht Reich regiert, Ward schlafend, von der Jungfrau Hand bezwungen. Sie löscht die Gluth im kühlsten Brunnen aus, Dem Liebesflammen ew'ge Hitz' ertheilen, Ein Bad und hülfreich Mittel ward daraus, Für Krank'." Gröls-Klassiker (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
