Responding [in 1895] to the recipient's complaint that he is really not a lyric poet, saying that the recipient has too narrow a conception of modern lyric poets, distinguishing between the perceptions [Empfindungen] received from nature and those taken from one own's life, discussing other ideas on aesthetics, saying [in 1904] that he needs the lists urgently since the directorate [Vorstand] must know what sum it has at its disposal, suggesting he come to Mödling for a visit sometime, and thanking Bach [in 1944] for 70th birthday greetings and sending birthday wishes in return, expressing the hope that they will soon "sing the canon which I dedicated [to] you when we both were sixty," etc.
