赫尔曼·黑塞(Hermann Hesse,1866～1962),诺贝尔文学奖得主,以小说和散文著称于世,作品深受广大读者的喜爱。但其实诗歌才是他一生的至爱,他曾说过,一首好诗胜过三部小说。在六十多年中他总共写了一千四百来首诗,从一八九九年的《浪漫歌谣》直到一九六一年的《阶梯》,生前先后出版了十五本诗集,第一部诗歌全集于一九四二年问世。 Hermann Hesse (1866-1962), winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is known for his novels and essays, and his works are deeply loved by readers. But in fact, poetry is his life’s favorite, he said, a good poem is better than three novels. In more than sixty years he wrote a total of 1,400 poems. From the “Romantic Ballads” in 1899 until the “staircase” in 1961, he published fifteen poems in his lifetime. A complete collection of poetry came in 1942.
