Klopstock

“Do you really think Bruce Willis would agree to be named Klopstock?”

He was influenced both by Uz and Klopstock, but his love for the Volkslied and his delight in nature preserved him from the artificiality of the one poet and the unworldliness of the other.

Vainly Klopstock sought for soothing influences in the contemplation of the soft and varying light.

He has exhibited a series of twenty designs from Klopstock's 'Messiah;' amongst which, some of particular interest.

French and Italian he seems to have been acquainted with so far as he deemed it necessary; but his principal literary studies were confined to Lessing, Bürger, Wieland, and Klopstock.
