Today's posts

The first post of the year is my translation of Heinrich Heine’s poem, ‘Die Lorelei’. Heine wrote it in 1824, taking the story from an old legend. It has been set to music many times notably by Friedrich Silcher, Clara Schumann and Franz Liszt.

  

Today I am posting the second of the ‘Letters from Berringford’, ‘Freckled things’.
