"Erlkönig" is a poem written in German by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which was later set to music composed by Schubert. It tells the story of a boy hallucinating about a king of the fairies. The boy begs his father for help, but later dies of fever. This was one of Goethe's most notable poems. Goethe is also known for composing other well-known poems, such as "Prometheus" and "Heidenröslein". Onomatopoeia, personification and extended metaphors -- Goethe is truly a master of literary techniques in poem-writing. His work has truly revolutionalised Western literature, philosophy, as well as politics. Goethe's work is often described to be lushly emotional, epigrammatic and epic. Napoleon Bonaparte himself met with Goethe in 1808, remarking, "Vous êtes un homme (You are a man)!" The Federal Republic of Germany's cultural institution, the Goethe-Institut, is named after him. There's even a Goethe-Institut in Singapore, in Tanjong Pagar, which is a German language school.
