Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Salt Master of Lüneburg, Vol. 1 In the year of our Lord 1454, oh the Wednesday following the first Sunday after Easter, two young travelling apprentices journeyed briskly across the Lüneburger Heath. One of them was of a sturdy build, with dark curling hair, and keen, piercing brown eyes. The other was a tall blonde, with muscular limbs, and clear, friendly eyes beneath an open brow. Each carried his own travelling gear, the taller having a well-filled knapsack on his back, and on his hip an equally well-filled bag of brownish goat-skin. The shorter carried on his shoulder only a wallet, which appeared to weigh but little. Each had a long knife stuck in his belt, but the fair-haired young fellow bore also a sword by his side, which seemed too costly for an artisan, and his low felt hat was decorated with a juniper sprig which he had plucked yesterday as a first token of home, on the way from Celle to Ulsen as they came upon the great heath. His companion, leaning upon his staff, had laughingly looked at him and exclaimed, - "Each one according to his liking; ´to the cobbler, black pitch.´ A raven has dropped a head-dress for me.´ Thereupon he stuck the feather in his hat, and added, "I hope it will not prove an evil omen, brother cooper, if I enter thy native city with this token from the wing of the gallows bird." "God forbid!" the cooper answered, and thereupon they resumed their journey. They had fallen in with one another early in the morning in Celle, as they came through the same gate, and each inquired of the other his starting-point and destination.
