Under varying names, -Ahasuerus, Salathiel, le Juif Errant, der ewige Jude, his story is the delight and edification of many lands; and I have met some worthy people who stoutly insisted that they had read it in the Bible. The sinister procession moves on.
On March 27th, the diet met at Constance, and for three days a debate went on which resulted in the drafting of the Ewige Richtung, the Réglement définitif, a document which contained a definite resolution that the mortgaged lands were to be completely withdrawn from Burgundy, and all financial claims settled. This resolution was subscribed to by Sigismund and the Swiss cantons.
Wits spoke of him secretly as if he were a kind of Melchizedek, without father or mother of any kind; sometimes, with reference to his great historic and statistic knowledge, and the vivid way he had of expressing himself like an eye-witness of distant transactions and scenes, they called him the Ewige Jude, Everlasting, or as we say, Wandering Jew.
"Everlasting Jew." Der ewige Jude which is the common German expression for "The Wandering Jew," and sublimer even than our own. First Epistle to Corinthians, chap. xv., beginning at ver. 20. This beautiful expression, I am pretty certain, must belong to Mrs.
"That geliebing business is bad stuff," he returned, and again the other tugged at his mustaches with a nervous hand and shook his big blond head. "She was to have met me here," he said abruptly. "She wrote I was to come quick and then she comes not. That is woman, the ewige weibliche." He scowled. "But, Gott, how enchantment was in her!" Billy heard himself sigh in unison.
Goethe speaks the word for him: "Wer nie sein Brod mit thranen ass, Er kennt euch nicht, ihr ewige Machte!" Drilled in Roman history Lovely figures made of light and morning What superb figures!
Going deeper, to the roots of human instinct, I find she represents to me so chance has willed it the ewige weibliche which must complement masculinity in order to produce normal existence. But as for the "zieht uns hinan" no. It would not attract me hence out of my sphere. I could commit an immortal folly for no woman who ever made this planet more lustrous to its Bruderspharen.
