Although the Kleists had provided several generals for the Prussian army including Heinrich’s father, Joachim Friedrich, company commander in Frankfurt an der Oder, they also bore evidence of conflicting artistic aspirations as exemplified in Ewald von Kleist (1715-1759), the author of some idyllic poems, who was required to enter the military against his will.
When Kleist was only eleven years old, his father died, leaving his young widow, Juliane Ulrike, née von Pannwitz, with two children by her husband’s first marriage and five offspring of her own.
Kleist, finding in Kant a confirmation of his own experience, did not pursue this philosophy to its more hopeful conclusion, but chose to dwell upon the ambivalence of empirical reality and our inability to perceive its true nature.

The dictionaries make it a synonym for _sentimental, fanciful_, _wild_, _extravagant_, _chimerical_, all evident derivatives from their more critical definition, "pertaining or appropriate to the style of the Christian and popular literature of the Middle Ages, as opposed to the classical antique." The etymology of _romance_ is familiar.
The progress in the sciences and mechanic arts, the discovery and colonizing of America, the invention of printing and gunpowder, and the Protestant reformation had indeed drawn deep lines between modern and mediaeval life.
Christianity, however, formed a connecting link, though, in Protestant countries, the continuity between the earlier and later forms of the religion had been interrupted.

In the autumn of 1823 he was persuaded to provide the incidental music for Rosamunde, a play by Helmina von Chézy, the librettist of the very opera, Euryanthe, which Schubert had not admired, and whose contribution to Weber's work had played a considerable part in its failure.
This was thanks to the post-chaise of Baron von Schönstein who gave Schubert a lift back to the city and who amusingly described the composer's clumsiness in breaking a window of the carriage, causing its occupants to freeze.
Here it is Franz von Schlechta, a former schoolmate of the composer, who touches on the theme of survival in adversity that has already been elaborated by Schober in Pilgerweise.
