Women fell in love with Pinckney, for the lightning does strike twice in the same place; but his race was rather that of Lohengrin than of the Asra, and he saw it, or seemed to see it, not. Still, in these times those downward lines had not come, and there was a certain sober light in his face as of a sorrowful triumph. This was in the epoch of his greatest interestingness to women.
Then she lost everything in the story of the Sultan's daughter and the young Asra, and when the fullest applause of the evening was going to Gertrude's song, she did not withhold her share.
The "Romance," superb in gloom and largeness of treatment, is worthy of the composer of "The Death of Asra." A later work, "Caprice Norwegienne," is also a strong brew of Scandinavian essence.
Its distinguishing characteristic is an interval, which contains three semitones: The interval occurring twice in this scale is enclosed in brackets. Its characteristic effect is most obvious when the scale is played downward. A beautiful instance of its artistic use is in Rubinstein's song "Der Asra."
"I wonder how it will end," thought the brother in his barracks. "I'm afraid that my poor Theodore is 'one of those Asra who die when they love." Theodore Wennerstroem was married. Nine months after the wedding his wife presented him with a boy who suffered from rickets another thirteen months and Theodore Wennerstroem had breathed his last.
I cannot!" I thought of Heine's son of Asra, who loved the Sultan's daughter. "What is thy name, slave?" asked the princess, "and what thy race and birthplace?" "My name," the young slave answered, "is Mahomet. I come from Yemen. My race is that of Asra, and when we love, we die." And likewise a voice kept saying in my heart, "If ever you find your Golden Bride, be sure she will die."
Like a bedraggled, worn-out circus coming in from the wear and tear of a hard season, he crawls wearily back to New York with a cinematographic recollection of countless telegraph poles flying past the windows, audience after audience, sleeping cars, budding geniuses, the inevitable receptions with their equally inevitable chicken salad or lukewarm oysters, and the "sweet young things," who, like Heine's mythical tribe of Asra, must love or perish.
