[5] The verses are from _GestAendnisse_, No. 125 in Pissin's
collection of Loeben's poems.
[6] _GestAendnisse_. No. 125.
[7] Aside from the reviews, letters, and individual poems reprinted
here and there, the following works were accessible to the writer:
(1) _Das weisse Ross, eine altdeutsche Familienchronik; (2) Die
Sonnenkinder, eine ErzAehlung; (3) Die Perle und die Maiblume, eine
Novelle; (4) Cephalus und Procris, ein Drama; (5) Ferdusi; (6)
Persiens Ritter, eine ErzAehlung; (7) Die ZaubernAechte am Bosporus,
ein romantisches Gedicht; (8) Prinz Floridio, ein MAerchen; (9)
Leda; eine ErzAehlung; (10) WeinmAerchen; (11) GesAenge._
[8] Eichendorff's relation to Loeben can be studied in the edition of
Eichendorff's works by Wilhelm Kusch, Regensburg. Vols. III,
X-XIII have already appeared. For a poetization of Loeben, see
_Ahnung und Gegenwart_, chap. xii, pp. 144 ff. For a
historical account of Loeben, see _Erlebtes_, chap. x,
pp. 425 ff. It is here that Eichendorff makes Goethe praise Loeben
in the foregoing fashion.
[9] There is no positive evidence that Goethe made any such remark.
