There is a kind of resurrection of Jean Paul in the wonderful descriptions of nature, the dreams of universal love and natural piety, which we find in Hesse's first great novel Peter Camenzind ; no writer since Jean Paul has bestowed such eloquent praise upon the clouds: Show me in all the wide world the man who knows the clouds better and loves them more than I do!
