FOOTNOTES:
[1] Humboldt was the first to attack Schiller’s view. He said that
after a full reading of Greek and Roman authors he found himself
unable to accept Schiller’s statement without many reservations. Later
Biese spoke of Schiller’s essay as “jener bahnbrechende Aufsatz,” but
showed that the statement of the case was inadequate because it was
based on the poetry of a single period and thus failed to take account
of many phases of Nature presented in the poetry after the brief
“reflexionslose naive homerische Zeit.”
[2] Biese has two earlier important books: “Die Entwickelung des
Naturgefühls bei den Griechen” (1882) and “Die Entwickelung des
Naturgefühls bei den Römern” (1884). In “Zeitschrift für vergleichende
Litteraturgeschichte,” Neue Folge, Siebenter Band (1894), p. 311, is
a valuable annotated summary of recent (since 1882) German studies on
“das antike und das deutsche Naturgefühl.”
[3] (_a_) They express childlike delight in the open-air world.
(_b_) They use Nature as the background or setting for human
action or emotion. (_c_) They see Nature through historic
coloring. (_d_) They make Nature sympathize with their own
feelings. (_e_) They dwell upon the inhuman or infinite side of
Nature. (_f_) They give description for its own sake. (_g_)
They interpret Nature by imaginative sympathy. (_h_) They use
Nature as a symbol of spirit.
