| | Theodor Storm: Introduction |
 | | STORM, Theodor Woldsen (Husum, Schleswig, 1817-88 Hademarschen, Holstein), studied law, which he practised for the greater part of his life in his native Husum before his retirement, in 1880, from his office as Amtsgerichtsrat. |
 | | Storm formed a friendship with Theodor and his brother Tycho Mommsen at school, and the three were joint editors of the Liederbuch dreier Freunde (1843). |
 | | Storm sought to write poems born of the immediate moment and appealing to the senses by their musical quality, sound, and rhythm, and the unobtrusive employment of imagery. |
