A vida de Holderlin divide-se exatamente em duas metades: os 36 anos de 1770 a 1806 e os 36 anos de 1807 a 1843, que transcorre como louco na casa do marceneiro Zimmer. Se na primeira metade o poeta vive no mundo e participa na medida das suas forças dos acontecimentos do seu tempo, a segunda metade da sua existencia e transcorrida de todo fora do mundo, como se, apesar das visitas esporadicas que recebe, um muro a separasse de qualquer relaço com os eventos externos. Por razes que talvez fiquem ao final claras para quem le, Holderlin decidiu eliminar todo carater historico e social das açes e dos gestos da sua vida. Segundo o testemunho de seu mais antigo biografo, ele repetia obstinadamente "no me acontece nada". Sua vida pode apenas ser objeto de cronica, no de uma biografia e muito menos de uma analise clinica ou psicologica. E, no entanto, a hipotese do livro e que, desse modo, Holderlin deu a humanidade uma outra, inedita figura da vida, cujo significado genuinamente politico resta ainda a medir, mas nos diz respeito de perto. "A vida habitante de Holderlin neutraliza a oposiço entre publico e privado, faz com que coincidam sem sintese numa posiço de paralizaço. Nesse sentido, sua vida habitante, nem privada nem publica, constitui talvez o legado propriamente politico que o poeta da ao pensamento. Tambem nisso esta proximo de nos, a nos que da distinço entre as duas esferas no sabemos mais nada. A sua vida e uma profecia de algo que seu tempo no podia de nenhum modo pensar sem ultrapassar os limites da loucura.

A Mad Love is a wonderful tale of against-all-odds romance that will enthrall fans of classic Victorian-era love stories. Charlotte M. Brame (1 November 1836 25 November 1884) was an English novelist. She was born in Hinckley, Leicestershire, to Benjamin and Charlotte Agnes Law, devout Roman Catholics. After attending convent schools in Bristol and Preston and a finishing school in Paris, she worked as a governess before marrying Phillip Edward Brame (18391886), a London-based jeweller, on 7 January 1863. The couple had nine children, of which four lived to adulthood. Since Brame was a poor businessman and a drunkard, Charlotte found herself forced to support the family with her writing. Her books were very successful with the public, but her earnings were severely diminished by piracy, particularly in the United States. The family lived in London, Manchester, and Brighton before returning to Hinckley, where she died in 1884. She owed money at her death, and her children were taken into guardianship; her husband committed suicide in May 1886. Following Brames death, the pen-name "Bertha M Clay" was used by other writers, including her own daughter. Among these were William J. Benners, William Cook, John R. Coryell, Frederick Dacre, Frederick Dey, Charles Garvice, Thomas C. Harbaugh, and Thomas W. Henshaw.
