somethingdarker | Potential Titles: Friedrich Schiller

Nothing I've found for Schiller on Project Gutenberg credits a translator, so it's possibly self-translated, possibly not. Or maybe he, for some reason, composed in English? Which seems deeply unlikely to me based on his Wikipedia page, but what do I know? I suspect that readers were just supposed to know.
