Later Irrelevance
In the context of post-war Germany Grimm was, however, a literary and political irrelevance, and died in 1959 in Lippoldsberg in the restored monastic buildings which he had purchased after the First World War, and where from 1934 to 1939 and then from 1949 onwards he had run the "Lippoldsberger Dichtertage" (Lippoldsberg Writers' Congresses) for nationalist and conservative authors.

Famous quotes containing the word irrelevance:
“Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
