He was persecuted during the Second World War and fled to the United Kingdom, where he started work as a college librarian in Guildford. In 1946 he took British citizenship, and stayed in the same job until 1957. In 1957 he was recalled to Vienna, where he received an honorary pension. He died in Vienna on 3 April 1958 and was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery. After his death his significant poetic output fell into obscurity, but has been rediscovered in recent decades. Several of his poems have been set to music. Thomas Mann called him "one of the greatest poets of the young generation") |
