Pieces D'Occasion

By (author) Andrew McCallum






| book description |

Poetry's living connection with the real world and its occurrences in public and private affairs is revealed most amply in the so-called pieces d'occasion. If this description were given a wider sense, we could use it as a name for nearly all poetic works: but if we take it in the proper and narrower sense we have to restrict it to productions owing their origin to some single present event and expressly devoted to its exaltation, embellishment, commemoration, etc. But by such entanglement with life poetry seems again to fall into a position of dependence, and for this reason it has often been proposed to assign the whole sphere of pieces d'occasion an inferior value although to some extent, especially in lyric poetry, the most famous works belong to this class. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
