Micah Joseph Lebensohn (Hebrew: מיכה יוסף הכהן לעבענזאָהן, romanized: Mikhah Yosef ha-Kohen Lebenzohn; (2 February 1828 – 17 February 1852), also known by the pen name Mikhal (מיכ״ל), was one of the foremost poets and translators of the Haskalah in Vilna.[2][3] He is best known for his innovative narrative Biblical romances and pantheistic nature poetry, influenced by the Romantic movement.[1] These are characterised by "a deep pathos and a beauty of expression," and noted for their "expression of the young poet's strong longing for life and of the dread of an early dissolution which preyed on his mind."[4]
