Justinus Kerner

Justinus Kerner was a physician and poet of the Swabian school who lived at Weinsberg in Württemberg. He is also known for his account of the clairvoyant Friederike Hauffe, The Seeress of Prevorst (1829).

James Clarence Mangan (1803–1849) translated this poet in his German Anthology (1845); the poems here are his English versions, as reprinted in Poems, ed. John Mitchel (New York, 1859).
