Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KOPISCH, AUGUST (1799-1853) , German poet, was born at
Breslau
  on the 26th of May 1799. In 1815 he began the study of
painting
  at the Prague
academy
 , but an injury to his hand precluded the prospects of any
great
  success in this profession, and he turned to literature. After a residence in Dresden Kopisch proceeded, in 1822, to Italy, where, at Naples, he formed an intimate friendship with the poet August,
count
  of Platen Hallermund. He was an expert swimmer, a quality which enabled him in company with Ernst Fries to discover the blue grotto of
Capri
 . In 1828 he settled at Berlin and was granted a pension by Frederick William IV., who in 1838 conferred upon himthe title of professor. He died at Berlin on the 3rd of
February
  1853. Kopisch produced some very
original
  poetry, light in language and in form. He especially treated legends and popular subjects, and among his Gedichte (Berlin, 1836) are some naive and humorous little pieces such as Die Historie von Noah, Die Heinzelmannchen, Das griine Tier and Der Scheiderjunge von Krippstedt, which became widely popular. He also published a
translation
  of Dante's Divine Comedy (Berlin, 1840), and under the title Agrumi (Berlin, 1838) a collection of translations of Italian folk songs.
Kopisch's collected works were published in 5 vols. (Berlin, 1856.)
