A new poetess, Betty Paoli, has created a great sensation here amongst the literary world. Her poems, which are published in one volume by a bookseller in Pesth, contain much that is truly admirable. Great things are expected from this modern Sappho (for Betty Paoli sings chiefly of love), and judging from these her first published poems, she may indeed be considered as an oasis amongst the somewhat barren desert of modern German poetry.
