Welhaven, Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer

Japanese: ウェルハーベン（英語表記）Welhaven， Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer

Born: December 22, 1807 in Bergen
[Died] October 21, 1873, Christiania (now Oslo)
Norwegian poet. He initially wanted to be a painter, but later, after studying hard, entered university and aspired to become a poet. A sensitive artist, he had a great debate with Wergeland, who insisted that Norway should break away from Danish culture and build its own culture, wishing for harmony and the incorporation of all noble cultures, including Denmark. As a poet, he wrote beautiful poems, but was not as wild and tough as Wergeland. He is also known for his unhappy love affair with Wergeland's sister, Camilla (who later became the female writer C. Collett). He served as a university professor for many years, but suffered from mental disorders in his later years and ended his life unhappily. His most famous collection of poems is Norges Daemering (1834), Norwegian Dawn.

ノルウェーの詩人。初め画家を志望したが，のち苦学して大学に入り，詩人を志した。繊細な芸術家で，ウェルゲランがデンマーク文化に決別してノルウェー独自の文化を築くべきだと主張したのに対し，デンマークをはじめとするすべての尊い文化との調和とその摂取を願って大論争をした。詩人としては美しい詩を書いたが，野性的なたくましさはウェルゲランに及ばなかった。またウェルゲランの妹カミッラ (のちの女流作家 C.コレット ) との不幸な恋愛で知られる。久しく大学教授をつとめたが，晩年は精神の変調をきたして不幸な生涯を閉じた。代表詩集は『ノルウェーの夜明け』 Norges Daemering (1834) 。
