Eternal Day is the only lifetime collection of poems by the German poet Georg Heym (1887–1912). The book consists of 41 poems. All of them, with the exception of two - “The Longest Day” and “Clouds”, were written from April to February 1911. The text is provided with comments and a detailed article by A.V. Markin “About the book “Eternal Day”. The work of Georg Heim opens German poetry has special possibilities. In expressionism, which gravitated toward abstraction, Geim’s poetry emphasizes the primacy of objectivity. The poet unfolds the picture behind the picture. His voice is not heard. Responding to Heim’s first collection of poetry, Ernst Stadler wrote about him back in 1911 as a major talent, “completely absorbed in the contemplation of his images, as if numb from their horror, but without a tangible resonance of the soul, lyrical emotion, completely surrendered to the objective power of his paintings." It is in this sense that Game's poetry has been called "silent." However, silence is not absolute. Its objectivity also has a special character. Life is no longer perceived directly - it appears as a subject of interpretation, difficult reflection of the artist. His poems provided an impressive version of those new relationships between subject and object, the lyrical Self and the world, which were resolved in their own way not only by the greatest expressionist poets, but - in many versions - by all world poetry of the 20th century.
