As editor of “Taarnet”, he developed a polemic rhetoric which did not facilitate the battle for his ideas. That was the beginning of symbolism, where they in the periodical “Taarnet” tried new a unknown ways and expressed themselves in a metaphorical language which better mirrored the sensitivity and the temperament of Johannes Joergensen. Therefore he and some like-minded began a search for a more spiritual based inspiration. But, with his innate melancholic temperament he did not find a remaining place in the cultural radical materialism where Eros and enjoyment of life, summarized in a pantheistic worship of nature, was the order of the day. In Copenhagen he developed radical sociopolitical views which soon led him to the circle of cultural radical artists where he became known.įrom his early years he showed a strong and sensitive liking for poetry through which he could express his dreams and emotional observations and for the rest of his life it remained his favourite way of expression. A natural melancholic tendency and an early taste for the multiple faces and the beauty of nature impressed him throughout his life. At the age of 16 he went to Copenhagen to become a student which he was in 1884. The poet Johannes Joergensen was born in Svendborg the 6th November 1866.
