Hyperion by Friedrick Holderlin

I'd really like to read and discuss a a prose poem with the group. Tell me if Holderlin is too much. He has an interesting back story, and in general his oeuvre is profound.

Hyperion is a novel of remarkable emotional force, poetic sublimity, and enduring influence. This sole novel by the iconic German lyric poet explores the pivotal phases of a poet’s life journey, the struggle for freedom, the divinity of nature and love, and the meaning of solitude. Friedrich Hölderlin’s gestures toward a higher spiritual unity left their mark on the founding texts of the nineteenth century.
