It took him two months. Then, after four months serving as a tutor, he inexplicably decided to return home. Not long after he set out, his coach was held up by highwaymen, and, with no money, he had to walk the rest of the way. By the time he arrived, he was so disheveled and disoriented his friends did not recognize him. Though Hölderlin was just thirty-two years old, the trip marked the beginning of the end of his active life as one of Germany's greatest poets and thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith more than sixty black-and-white photographs by the author and eighteen historical route maps, \u003ci\u003eStruck by Apollo\u003c\/i\u003e follows Hölderlin to Bordeaux and back and beyond.
