Abstract

This article summarizes the idealistic picture of the universe from the time around 1800, where man as empirical self has the possibility to become enlightened by the absolute self. With a number of nordic poets desire after this enlightenment associates with voluntary or involuntary erotic deprivation with the effect that they fora time feel united with a higher spiritual power, who could be called God, Odin, Lucifer. The relieving breakthrough is regularly followed by a setback, under which the poets within themselves acknowledge a loss of the ability to love. Examples are Henrik Ibsen, Søren Kierkegaard, Sophus Claussen and N.F.S. Grundtvig. The latter is treated most detailed.
