Michael Hamburger: Voice of Lost Poetry
At a garden party in Norwich I saw Max Sebald kneel on one knee to a seated Michael Hamburger engaging him in conversation with an attitude that struck me at the time as reverential.

Wilhelm Dilthey, Schleiermacher's exponent and interpreter in the late nin…
