He spake: "Dear love, I'll come back in a few short days. I wot not here of people who bear me aught of hate. Each and all of thy kinsmen be my friends, nor have I deserved it other of the knights." "No, no, Sir Siegfried, in truth I fear thy fall. I had last night an evil dream, how two mountains fell upon thee. I saw thee nevermore. It doth cut me to the heart, that thou wilt part from me."
And the answer breaks upon us through the cold gray silence, "Nevermore!" We say to ourselves again and again, "Can it be possible?" "Do we not dream?" "Will not that life and affection return to us?" "Nevermore!" O! nevermore! The heart is like an empty mansion, and that word goes echoing through its desolate chambers. We are stricken and afflicted.
PROMETHEUS. The selfsame sun that is about to set. Friend sun, eye of time, nevermore shall your eyelids close. Gaze upon it, if you can. AHASVERUS. I cannot. PROMETHEUS. You will be able to, when the conditions of life shall have changed.
"I cannot tell you, Maude, believe me. I am as candid with you as it is possible to be; but there are some things best best not spoken of. Maude," he repeated, rising impulsively and taking both her hands in his, "do you wish to earn my love my everlasting gratitude? Then you may do it by nevermore alluding to this." It was a mistaken request; an altogether unwise emotion.
"Well," said Paul, "if she looks at a man she says haughtily 'Nevermore, and if she looks at herself in the looking-glass she says disdainfully 'Nevermore, and if she thinks back she says it in disgust, and if she looks forward she says it cynically." Edgar considered this speech, failed to make much out of it, and said, laughing: "You think she's a man-hater?"
As she spoke, Paula with her lovely animated face, appeared to live again in her happy past, quite forgetful that she was now far away from her beloved, sunny land of the Alps, where that dear father slept on the hillside, nevermore to return. I, of course, had been in the habit of hearing our mother speak of her home in the Alps with nothing but sighs and tears.
He had seen her thus he would see her nevermore!... Would the doctor never come? Many days the Angel of Death spread his wings over the cottage in the Valley of the Many-Colored Grass. Their shadow cast a great stillness upon the cottage. Outside was a white, silent world. Snow had fallen snow on snow until it lay deep, deep upon the garden-spot and deep in the streets outside.
She would tell him where Maggie was gone, and he, if his love could survive that shock, would follow her thither; nay, would be there that very day, and Maggie's heart grew wearier, fainter, as time wore on and he did not come. "I might have known it," she whispered sadly. "I knew that he would nevermore think of me," and she wept silently over her ruined love.
Nevermore in summertide nor in the days of May bare he within his heart such lofty joy as now he gained, when hand in hand he walked with her whom he fain would call his love. Then thought full many a knight: "Had that but happed to me, to walk thus with her hand in hand, as now I see him do, or to lie beside her, I'd bear it willingly." Never has warrior better served to gain a queen.
Go in and hear from the king how he is minded toward you." The knights bold and good went in pairs. The prince of Bern took great Gunther of Burgundy by the hand. Irnfried took brave Gernot, and Giselher went in with his father-in-law. Howso the others walked, Folker and Hagen parted nevermore, save once in battle, till their death; the which gave many a noble woman cause to weep.
