| Publisher Description: Schillers writings were so filled with symbolism that he were thought to be a freemason. Schiller disavowed any association with the freemason fraternity. Yet, a study of his writings leads into the mysteries of the hermetic traditions. Dilip Rajeev applies his understanding of hermeticism, alchemical traditions, and expertise from years of research in symbiology of language, to succinctly bring out what Schiller hid in his poem, Ode To Joy. Beethoven set Ode To Joy to music, immortalizing Schiller's poem in his 9th Symphony. It now forms the anthem of the European Union. After he had made his experiences with Schiller's Poem, Beethoven wrote, "Schiller's poems are difficult to set to music. The composer must be able to rise far above the poet. Who can do that in the case of Schiller? In this respect Goethe is much easier." In this volume, you will find what hermetic secrets the German poet hid in his famous poem. |
