Subject: [peirce-l] Peirce and H=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=F6lderlin?=

Hello list:

Does anyone know whether Peirce knew anything by Friedrich Hölderlin? 
I'm thinking specifically about Hölderlins poem called Mnemosyne, where the image of man as sign appears. I found this link to the poem: 


And also this quote from Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit (I couldn't make sure yet whether or not it's from "The Death of Empedocles"/ "Der Tod des Empedokles", by Hölderlin): 
"Der Pathos des Sängers ist nicht die betäubende Naturmacht, sondern die Mnemosyne, die Besinnung und gewordeneInnerlichkeit, die Erinnerung des unmittelbaren Wesens." (sorry, I can't translate that into English and couldn't find the translation online, but it's from the Phenomenology of Spirit, VII.B.c: The Spiritual Work of Art).  This quote seems to indicate to the same general philosophical point as CSP does in his 1868 papers on cognition: the impossibility of an imediate knowledge. Anyway, just a point of historical curiosity; but the Hölderlin case seems more interesting, to me at least.
All the very best to all,
cass.
