Gontard. Holderlin taught Gontards children. He idealized Susette Gontard: she became his Muse, the Diotima in his poetry. Schones Leben! du lebst, wie die zarten Bluthen im Winter, Holderlin wrote in To Diotima.

Diotima was the heros beloved in Holderlins novel Hyperion. Many poems are addressed to Diotima, and she is the subject of many pieces. It was with his relationship with Susette Gontard that Holderlins poetry began to develop rapidly, achieving a depth and lyricism far beyond the early poems.

His work bridges the Classical and Romantic schools. Having spent most of his life tormented by mental illness, he suffered great loneliness, and often spent his time playing the piano, drawing, reading, writing, and enjoyed traveling when he had the chance.
