The German poet Ferdinand Freiligrath (1810–1876) pleaded in his poetry for democratic and social reforms and for liberty. Because he yearned for a national uprising, he was shadowed at times. At the end of his life, in Bismarck’s {see planet (7586)} time, he became a patriotic poet. (M 41035) _ _.
