Hymnen an die Nacht
by Novalis
'Hymnen an die Nacht' Summary
Die "Hymnen an die Nacht" sind ein Gedichtzyklus des deutschen Schriftstellers Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg), der 1800 in der Zeitschrift "Athenäum" veröffentlicht wurde. Das Werk gilt als Höhepunkt von Novalis' Lyrik und als bedeutende Dichtung der Frühromantik. Die sechs Hymnen befassen sich mit der romantischen Interpretation von Leben und Tod, wobei die Nacht als Symbol für den Übergang zwischen beiden fungiert. Novalis entwickelt Leben und Tod zu ineinander verwobenen Konzepten, wobei der Tod letztlich zum romantischen Prinzip des Lebens wird. Die Hymnen zeichnen sich durch eine universelle Religion mit einem Vermittler aus, der entweder Jesus oder der verstorbene Geliebte sein kann. Die drei Zyklen, die jeweils aus zwei Hymnen bestehen, zeigen die Entwicklung vom Leben im irdischen Reich des Lichts über eine Phase der schmerzhaften Entfremdung zur Befreiung in der ewigen Nacht. Die folgenden Hymnen schildern das Aufwachen aus der Vision und die Sehnsucht nach der Rückkehr zu dieser.Book Details
