Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from El Dorado: A Tragedy Prologue Enter Shadow, clothed blackly, having a red dagger and bearing as a shield a great white mask. Shadow. Into this world where Life is born of Light I, Shadow, have been sent to bring you peace, To make you wise; within my tragic themes, Lost Love, A Sullen Will, Dead Hope and Dread You shall find balm, pleasant with secret nard, To heal your discontent, for all men know That he for whom noon´s brightest radiance glows Is he who waked and shuddered at midnight. O tear-accustomed children of this age Look on my stage and weep no more, for now I´ll summon shapes struck with a grief so black That earth seemed fire, the sea a cloud of fear, Fate seemed an idiot scrawling on the sand, And heaven driven like a little leaf. The gold, five-keyed Elizabethan horn Shall be for us the soothing instrument. Then for the tale´s sake I do kneel for help, To sky-browed Æschylus who down all the years Mourns deeply through a sterner, briefer shell, Making men hear the eagle wheel and shriek Round the sea rock on which all hope lay bound. Aid thou me then, O elemental Greek, Plunge in the rose at once her destined þ Let not the wind have gradual rise and urge, But strike now to the tempest´s coil and hiss, Show the swift lovers burning to and fro With Perth entombed, hearing no sound of earth But in the sky a thunder of falling tears.
