In the sphere of language, Hugo von Hofmannsthal was already in his childhood talented by nature. His first poems and essays he wrote when he was 17 years old, his first drama ("The Death of Tizian") in his 18th year. From the beginning he followed the great tradition of the theatre of Vienna. His lyrical creations end already before he turned 30 years. At this time the dramatist begins with the reception of the medieval mystery plays, Calderon and the greek-oriental myths. The phenomena of gliding-out-of-the-world are found before this time, in the period of his very own spiritual conceiving. They show a remarkable inclination to abandon the world of reality (Wirklichkeit, koinos kosmos): gliding into the world of dream and trance, of phantastic tales, of magic and demonia, of depersonalization and dilusion, of dying and of death (idios kosmos). These tendencies vanish when Hofmannsthal turns to more conventional topics.
在语言领域，雨果·冯·霍夫曼斯塔尔自幼便天赋异禀。他17岁时开始创作首批诗歌和散文，18岁时创作了第一部戏剧作品（《提香之死》）。从一开始，他就遵循维也纳戏剧的伟大传统。他的抒情创作在他30岁之前就结束了。此时，这位剧作家开始接受中世纪神秘剧、卡尔德隆以及希腊东方神话的影响。在这之前，在他自己独特的精神构思阶段，就已经出现了超脱尘世的现象。它们表现出一种显著的倾向，即摒弃现实世界（德语：Wirklichkeit，希腊语：koinos kosmos）：滑入梦境与恍惚、奇幻故事、魔法与恶魔、人格解体与幻觉、垂死与死亡的世界（希腊语：idios kosmos）。当霍夫曼斯塔尔转向更传统的主题时，这些倾向便消失了。
