Whether it was bliss or pain that so powerfully oppressed me that I scarce could breathe, I cannot tell.
Selbst wüßt ich nicht, war es Lust oder Qual, was meine Brust so gewaltsam zusammenpreßte, daß ich kaum zu atmen vermochte.

Instead of the vigorous Berklinger, this was a little lean, timid creature, oppressed by poverty.
Statt des kräftigen Berklinger war dieser alte Maler ein kleinlicher, magerer, furchtsamer, von Armut gedrückter Mann.

"Senza Amare," she whispered gently. " Senza Amare —non pub consolare." Tears, like pearls, rose in her heWenly eyes; sighs heaved her breast, which rose and fell, oppressed.
»Senza amare - senza amare - non puö consolare«, lispelte sie leise und Tränen glänzten wie helle Perlen in den Himmelsaugen und Seufzer entflohen der Brust, die auf- und niederwallte vor innerer Beklemmung.

Hoffmann, Ernst Theodor A.
What he meant by this is that the artist, like the neurotic, is oppressed by unusually powerful instinctual needs which lead him to turn away from reality to fantasy.
Damit meinte er, daß der Künstler, ähnlich dem Neurotiker, von ungewöhnlich mächtigen instinktiven Bedürfnissen gequält wird, die ihn dazu bringen, sich von der Realität ab- und der Phantasie zuzuwenden.
