pseudonym of Richard Georg Spiller von Hauenschild. A German poet; born in Breslau, March 24, 1822; died at Tscheidt, Upper Silesia, Jan. 20, 1855. He early rose to prominence through his scholarly attainments, but as a poet he has made his name known wherever German poetry is read. "A Fairy Fable", "Leaves in the Wind", and "Rahab: Pictures of Bible Women", are conspicuous among his volumes of verse. "Cordula" is a poem admired for its rich metrical effects. He also wrote "After Nature", a novel that enjoyed quite a run.
