Storm, Theodor W. [Immensee]; translated from the German by George P. Upton. il. **$1.75. McClurg.
7–33212.
Mr. Upton’s aim has been, not so much to render a literal translation of this excellent example of German lyric sentiment, as to give English readers as perfect an English version as possible. The story is prettily illustrated, generous use being made of the water-lily which is the symbol of the vision of lost youth—the motif of “Immensee.”
“Mr. George P. Upton, the translator, furnishes, besides a singularly graceful rendering of the text, an interesting appreciation of Storm and his work.”
