Excerpt from Schiller: After a Century It is rarely the case, at the hundredth anniversary of a poet's death, that a unanimous opinion has not been arrived at as to the position he occupies in his own literature and in that of the world. Only the very greatest, the writers whose power and influence are not bounded by centuries, have to be viewed from a wider distance, if their proportions are to be seen in true perspective, or it may perhaps be said that they alone, as the real immortals of a nation, are subject to the changing sentiments of later generations, - that, in their case, finality of judgment is unattainable. To this small band of the elect, the poet, whose hundredth death day falls on the 9th of May, does not belong, there is no reason why opinion should still be at variance with regard to his rank in literature.
