3. Zweig mentioned the great wonder of early perfection with admiration. This was echoed with a note of deprecation by others. Recalling primitive burial rites which required the placement of a heavy stone over a grave to ensure that the departed would not return, while claiming it was done to honor him, Richard Alewyn has noted: ‘In this fashion, while he was still alive, they buried Hofmannsthal with full literary honors and put on his tombstone: here lies a master of the German lyric, he ripened early and died of Anaemia Aesthetica.’ (‘Hofmannsthals Wandlung’, Über Hugo von Hofmannsthal, p. 154).
