Gedichte Von Sommer Und Tod

Gedichte von Sommer und Tod

by Ernst Blass

Gedichte von Sommer und Tod is a collection of five poems written by Ernst Blass, a prominent figure of the early Expressionist movement in Berlin. Composed in 1918, during the tumultuous years of World War I, the poems reflect the profound impact of war and death on the human psyche. Blass's lyrical style and evocative imagery convey a sense of melancholy, disillusionment, and the fragility of life in the face of profound loss. The collection delves into themes of existential angst, the fleeting nature of beauty, and the enduring power of memory. These poems offer a poignant glimpse into the emotional and philosophical landscape of a generation grappling with the devastation of war.
