Sinossi
Excerpt from Songs of a Jew
The Yiddish poet is fortunately saved, both by his inacquaintance with the more recondite slopes of Parnassus, and by his peculiar heritage of national pain, from delving too deeply for his material or moulding it too tortuously. His childhood has pro vided him with that store of glamorous memories inherent in a ritualistic and domesticated religion; his youth has known the struggle between the old culture and the new, often intensified by exile; his manhood is richly endowed with miseries of body and spirit, and, above all - if the discipline of suffer ing be necessary to the doctrine of song - he is the son of a persecuted and homeless race, which is half martyr, half-philistine, half-superman, half-bagman a strange mixture of the sublime and the ridiculous. Is it wonderful if his songs reflect all this tragi-comic medley, if they hesitate between a sigh and a tear, and if the sigh, when it comes, is as much of self contempt as of self-pity? These traits are more or less common to all the ghetto poets; they are but glorified in Heine.
