Nay, my friend, it is our lot too: and if we would win honor in this Universe, the rumor of Histories and Morning Newspapers, which have to become wholly zero, one day, and fall dumb as stones, and which were not perhaps very wise even while speaking, will help us little! Who succeeded in Ditmarsch, let us by no means inquire.
The sea-wall you build, and what main floodgates you establish in it, will depend on the state of the outer sea. Markgraf of SLESWIG grows into Markgraf of DITMARSCH and STADE; retiring over the Elbe, if Norse Piracy get very triumphant. ANTWERP falls obsolete; so does MEISSEN by and by.
Then a cock crowed, Cock-a- doodle-doo! The story is all told, Cock-a-doodle-doo! 159 The Ditmarsch Tale of Wonders I will tell you something.
The power accorded to the plebs, or commons, as Niebuhr calls them who is, perhaps, too fond of explaining the early constitution of Rome by analogies borrowed from feudalism, and especially from the constitution of his native Ditmarsch was simply an obstructive power; and when it, by development, became a positive power, it absorbed all the powers of government, and created the Empire.
SUCH "difference between right and wrong" no Wend had heard of before: quite tremendously "important if true!" And doubtless it impressed many. There are heavy Ditmarsch strokes for the unimpressible. By degrees all got converted, though many were killed first; and, one way or other, the Wends are preparing to efface themselves as a distinct people. Otto is a common name among them.
In Salzwedel, in Ditmarsch, or wherever stationed, they had a toilsome fighting life: sore difficulties with their DITMARSCHERS too, with the plundering Danish populations; Markgraf after Markgraf getting killed in the business. Of all which there is now silence forever.
Whatever local or linguistic interest may be manifested for the works of Groth in the Ditmarsch Platt-Deutsch, or for the sweet Alemannic songs of Hebel, the centralizing tongue is that in which Schiller and Goethe wrote. The allied Danish and Dutch have escaped this ingulfing process.
In 1773, being then just forty years of age, he married the orphan daughter of Dr Blumenberg, a Thuringian physician, and lived at Copenhagen, with the rank of captain of engineers, till the year 1778. He then removed to Meldorf, a town in the province of Ditmarsch, Holstein, where he settled for life as collector of the revenues of the district.
