Much of the text of this page as it stands Tue Jul 27 19:10:45 EDT 2010 was copied from an old Encyclopedia Britannica: http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Annette_Elisabeth%2C_Freiin_von_Droste-Hulshoff . Which is OK I guess; it's out of copyright. But some evaluative comments like "but... one looks in vain for a touch of sentimentality or melting sweetness in it" are dated and not appropriate for the 21st century (leaving the implied sexism aside, nowadays that's considered a strength). The German Wikipedia has more and better information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.118.94.188 (talk) 23:21, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
