HESSE, Hermann (1877-1962). A collection of one autograph manuscript and 6 typescripts signed of poems, 3 with inscriptions to Josef Englert, with three other typescript poems by Hesse, and one other, comprising: AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED ('H') of 'Im Kamin krümmt sich in Schmerzen das brennende Scheit', 12 lines on one page, 4to ; TYPESCRIPTS WITH AUTOGRAPH SIGNATURES of 'Beim Wiedersehen von Jugend-Bildnissen', August 1930, signed, 12 lines on one page, 8vo ; 'Nach dem Begräbnis meines Bruders', [1936], signed, 105 lines on 4½ pages, 4to ; 'Der letzte Glasperlenspieler (Fragment aus Josef Knechts Gedichten)', Baden, November 1937, signed and inscribed, 25 lines on one page, folio , with a separate manuscript continuation; 'Gelegentlich ergreifen wir die Feder' ('Dieser Tage wurde noch ein Gedicht aus der Jugendzeit des Ludi Magister Jos. III. aufgefunden, das wir mitteilen'), n.d., signed and inscribed, 35 lines on one page, folio ; 'Der Dichter in unsrer Zeit', n.d., signed and inscribed, 16 lines on one page, 4to ; 'Trämerei am Abend (für meine Schwester Marulla Nov. 1953), signed, 12 lines on ½ page, 4to ; TYPESCRIPTS WITHOUT SIGNATURE of 'Zu einer Toccata von Bach. Ein Jugengedicht von Josef Knecht', 10 May 1935, 'Licht der Frühe', September 1953, and 'Wir nun am dürren Ginsterhang', n.d., together 3 pages, 4to , together with a typescript poem addressed to Hesse. Provenance : Josef Englert; and by descent. The poem in autograph, 'Im Kamin krümmt sich in Schmerzen das brennende Scheit', is a characteristic interior at evening. Three of the typescript poems spring from the bleak imaginary landscape of Hesse's late masterpiece, The Glass Bead Game : the best known of the group here, Der letzte Glasperlenspieler , depicts the last of the players of the mysterious glass bead game, at ease in a scene of desolation, old and alone, still carefully selecting the right pearl for the game. 'Der Dichter in unsrer Zeit' urges the continuing duties of the poet, 'Leidvoll zu dienen, Opfer ohne Tat'. Hesse's poem on the burial of his brother contrasts the family standing around his brother's grave in the rain with a dream-vision of himself striking his brother as a child, and ends with the reflection 'Wie allein Geht man von Gräbern weg!'.
