Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Romantic Fiction Minstrels were inspired to lofty strains; warriors to victorious deeds. But all who had hitherto vied for the love of the beauteous lady had been rejected with a dignity and majesty which for ever forbade their return. Already was it said that Alfhilda, too exalted for earthly love, and guarded by the spirit-ancestors of her wonderful race, neither could nor would give herself to mortal man. Then it came to pass that a young Swedish hero, of great renown and graceful presence, landed on the coast of Norway. His name was Sywald; and he was but now returning to his northern home from a glorious expedition in the south. Now, also, he heard of the beauty of Alfhilda, and pondered how he could obtain a sight of the far-famed maiden. "What will it avail you?" said the old warrior-minstrel Wehrmund, of whom he had asked counsel. "You can as little win her love as any other mortal. And if the wonderful majesty of the maiden pierce through you heart and soul, and you sail forth again into the wide world full of keen sorrow, you can only reproach yourself for having perversely pierced your heart with your own spear." "Ah, Wehrmund, so skilled in song," sighed the knight, "how very, very old you have become since you invented your sweet lays on the banks of the Rhine! Oh, I pray you, noble skald, call back to your remembrance how it then was with you, and whether you could have chanted such glorious songs, or done such valiant deeds with your sword, had it not been for those sweet pangs of love which filled your heart so softly with a pure joy and a pure sorrow for a noble lady who was then far distant from you, and has remained far distant from you, and has remained far distant all your life long! Did not your heart beat higher tha the hearts of other men, only because you thought in song and war on a lovely approving smile?
