To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There may be found, even in the hymns written by that good man Gellert, some traces of the prosaic tone prevalent in his time. His devotional poems, though good in their own style, do not express the faith and fervour of an earlier psalmody. These notices may indicate some characteristics of the time when the earlier cantos of the 'Mcssias' appeared. Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, born (2. July 1724) at Quedlinburg, enjoyed the advantages of a good classical training at Schulpforte, one of sever...al Saxon schools endowed with the funds of suppressed con- vents and called 'the Princes' Schools'. He studied theology at Jena and Leipzig, 1745 — 6, and, about that time, became acquainted with and recognized the value of, some parts of the old Saxon epic 'der Heliand' ('the Saviour'). When the poet went to Leipzig, a literary union called 'the Saxon School' had been formed there, including Rabener, the mild satirist , Ebert , who translated Young's ' Night Thoughts', Gartner, the founder of the union, and other young men.
