There are life-moments that, like border markers, stand before an expiring time while at the same time clearly pointing out a new direction. In such transitional moments we feel ourselves compelled to observe the past and the future with eagle-eyes of thought, in order to attain consciousness of our actual position. In... | Letter from Marx To his Father by Karl Marx November 1837 | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1837-pre/letters/37_11_10.htm |
See overhead the cloud sails, lowering, Around its flanks roar eagle-wings. Stormwards it rushes, fire-sparks showering, Night thoughts from morning's realm it brings. Thought blazes up, so heavy-stupendous, Curse-frenzy batters the vaults of Aether. Blood spurts from eyeball, terror-enormous, Sea-waves spit up at Heav... | Book of verse--Karl Marx | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1837-pre/verse/verse39.htm |
From my dreamings I would coax Soft an image in scent-woven web; I would weave rings passing fair From the locks of my own hair; Night-encompassed, heart's blood I would swell That, from waves of dream, fire-image well, Image, ebbing and a-flowing, Fair in love, Aeolian music sighing. It would soar, all golden shining,... | Book of verse--Karl Marx | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1837-pre/verse/verse40.htm |
There dances a woman by moonlight, She glimmers far into the night, Robe fluttering wild, eyes glittering clear, Like diamonds set in rock-face sheer. | Book of verse--Karl Marx | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1837-pre/verse/verse8.htm |
Bremen, Aug. 28, 1838 Dear Marie, As soon as I saw your letter I realised at once that it was from you although I don t know your handwriting. Because the letter is just like you written in a terrible hurry, everything in a lovely confusion, sermons that are not a bit seriously meant: how are you, your health, news ab... | Letters: Engels Letters 1838 | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1838/letters/38_08_28.htm |
[Bremen] September 1 To the Graeber brothers, of Barmen, now in Elberfeld. Acknowledging receipt of the esteemed letter of your Herr F. Graeber, I am taking the liberty to send you a few lines. Thunder and lightning, things are looking up. We will now begin right away with the plastic arts. Namely with my fellow lodge... | Letters: Engels Letters 1838 | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1838/letters/38_09_01.htm |
[Bremen] Sept. 11 Dear Marie, Hoping to receive another four-page letter from you, I remain, etc. Yes, you little goose, you shall have four pages but they are according to the saying that with the same measure as you measure will it be measured unto you, [Cf. Matthew 7:2.] and even that is too much for you. For I man... | Letters: Engels Letters 1838 | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1838/letters/38_09_11.htm |
[Bremen, September 17-18, 1838] September 17. First the black ink, then the red ink from the beginning again. Carissimi! In vostras epistolers haec vobis sit respondentia. Ego enim quum longiter latine non scripsi, vobis paucum scribero, sed in germanico-italianico-latino. Quae quum ita sint, [My dearest ones, let this... | Letters: Engels Letters 1838 | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1838/letters/38_09_17.htm |
Bremen, Oct. 9, 1838 Dear Marie, At last four full pages! Well, I shall have to praise you till you can no longer bear it, as they say. Riding is now over unfortunately, so I am mostly at home on Sundays, but I enjoy myself quite a lot. Either I listen to somebody playing or... or I write, and in the evening we do all ... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1838/letters/38_10_09.htm |
Bremen, Nov. 13, 1838 Dear Marie, Both your letters gave me very great pleasure and I will see what I can do, time and space permitting, to tell you something. It is now past three o'clock and the letter must be posted by four. But I really don t know anything much to tell you. Nothing out of the ordinary happens here,... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1838/letters/38_11_13.htm |
[Bremen, end of December 1838] Dear Marie, Well, you really are making a good thing out of being ill, lying in bed most of the time, you lazy-bones. You'll have to get out of that habit. You must be up and about by the time you get this letter, do you hear? Thank you for the nice cigar-box cover. I can assure you that ... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1838/letters/38_12_31.htm |
As is well known, people understand by this name, held in much ill-repute among the Friends of Light, the two towns of Elberfeld and Barmen, which stretch along the valley for a distance of nearly three hours travel.

To Herr Dr. Runkel in Elberfeld Elberfeld, May 6th You have violently attacked me and my Letters from Wuppertal in your newspaper and accused me of deliberate distortion, ignorance of the conditions, personal abuse and even untruths. It does not matter to me that you call me a Young German, for I neither accept the cha... | Open Letter To Dr. Runkel by Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/05/09.htm |
In a recent sermon in Elberfeld on Joshua 10:12-13, where Joshua bids the sun stand still, Krummacher advanced the interesting thesis that pious Christians, the Elect, should not suppose from this passage that Joshua was here accommodating himself to the views of the people, but must believe that the earth stands still... | F. W. Krummacher’s Sermon on Joshua by Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/05/telegraph.htm |
For some time there have been loud and bitter complaints about the deplorable power of scepticism; here and there one looked gloomily at the toppled edifice of the old faith, anxiously waiting for the clouds covering the sky of the future to break. With a similar feeling of melancholy I laid down the Lieder eines heimg... | From Elberfeld by Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/11/elberfeld.htm |
Is it not a great commendation for a book to be a popular book, a book for the German people? Yet this gives us the right to demand a great deal of such a book; it must satisfy all reasonable requirements and its value in every respect must be unquestionable. The popular book has the task of cheering, reviving and ente... | German Volksb�cher by Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/11/telegraph.htm |
With these bombastic words Herr Beck approached the German poets ranks, demanding admission; in his eyes the proud awareness of his calling, about his lips an expression of modern world-weariness. Thus he stretched out his hand for the laurel wreath. Two years have passed since then; does the laurel appeasingly cover t... | Karl Beck by Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/12/telegraph.htm |
[Bremen] Jan. 7, 1839 Dear Marie, I hope you have now had that tooth extracted or that it was not necessary. The riddle about the pond is very nice but you ought to be able to solve it yourself. Listen, composing is hard work; you have to pay attention to so many things the harmony of the chords and the right progressi... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_01_07.htm |
[Bremen, January 20, 1839] To Fritz Graeber Florida I The Spirit of Earth speaks: II The Seminole speaks: III The White Man speaks: Here is my contribution to the next little party. I saw that there had been one at our place again and I was very sorry that I didn t send anything in for it. Now in reply to your letter. ... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_01_20.htm |
[Bremen, February 19, 1839] Et Tu, Brute? Friderice Graeber, hoc est res quam nunquam de te credideriml Tu jocas ad cartas? passionaliter? 0 Tempores o moria! Res dig.nissima memoria! Unde est tua gloria? [And you too, Brutus? Friedrich Graeber, this is a thing I should never have passionately? O times, O customs!

Bremen, March 11 1839 Dear Hermann, I request Your Honour not to plague me in future with beginnings of letters such as you learned from Herr Riepe and only permit myself for the moment to remark that it is winter with us every morning and summer every midday. For in the morning the temperature is minus five degrees, w... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_03_11.htm |
Bremen, March 12, 1839 Dear Marie, (Continuation of my letter to Hermann.) The Stadtbote is full of absolute nonsense and I am writing poems about it at the office which ridicule it by always praising it to the skies, just incoherent twaddle, and I send it to the paper signed Th. Hildebrandt and they print it in all in... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_03_12.htm |
[Bremen] April 8 (nisi erro [if I am not mistaken]), 1839 My dearest Fritz, This letter yes, you think you are going to be greatly amused by it, but no, not so much. You, who not only by making me wait so long, but by desecrating the holiest mysteries which ever remained hidden from the human genius, have clouded my vi... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_04_08.htm |
Bremen, April 10, 1839 Dear Marie, Pardon me for not writing to you for so long. Now I'll tell you something nice. On Good Friday, the local Burgomaster, His Magnificence Dr. Groening, died and the election of a new one took place a week ago. The Right Honourable Senator Dr. J. D. Noltenius got the appointment and last... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_04_10.htm |
[Bremen, about April 23-May 1, 1839] Fritz Graeber, I am very busy at present with philosophy and critical theology. When you get to be eighteen years of age and become acquainted with Strauss, the rationalists and the Kirchen-Zeitung then you must either read everything without thinking or begin to doubt your Wupperta... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_04_23.htm |
[Bremen] April 28, 1839 Dear Marie, You too are only going to get a little from me today so that I can get on to my comedy which I want to send you. It is quite true that the gentlemen ate six crates of macaroons. You can believe it or not, just as you like, but there were about 600 people. Serves you right that you've... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_04_28.htm |
[Bremen, about April 28-30, 1839] Guglielmo carissimo! My very dear Wilhelm, I found your letter amongst those of the others and its words were sweet to me. But I cannot accept as either authentic or competent the judgment and the sentence passed by the five students. For it is an act of kindness on my part when I encl... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_04_30.htm |
Bremen, May 23, 1839 Dear Marie, Now I ride out every Sunday in the country with R. Roth. Last Monday we went to Vegesack and Blumenthal and just when we wanted to have a look at the famous Bremer Schweiz (this is a very small strip of land with small sand-hills), an enormous pall of haze came down like a cloud and in ... | Letters: Letters of Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1839/letters/39_05_23.htm |
Among the poetic offspring of the Restoration period, whose powers were not crippled by the electric shocks of the year 1830 and whose fame only became established in the present literary epoch, there are three who are distinguished by a characteristic similarity: Immermann, Chamisso, and Platen. All three possess unus... | Platen by Frederick Engels | https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1840/02/platen.htm |
