Good catch on the century. I did know that the 1800’s are the Romantic period in art/literature. I’m gonna go ahead and call that a typo.

good article, but a mistake: Preseren is a 19th century poet (1800’s), and has nothing to do with the 17th century (1600’s). The Romantic “period” in European art is the 19th century itself, and more exactly, the first half of it. And Preseren is a typical romantic poet, by this aspect.
Thanks for the poem. There’s too few about him on the internet, the whole oeuvre is relatively small but it’s also just pieces of it readable on the net in english.

Wow, it's like a whole country that would rally behind someone like Daniel Johnston. Sounds like my kind of place.
