And in his letters to Georg Brandes we find this opinion fearlessly exprest: "I have really never had any strong feeling of solidarity; in fact, I have only in a way accepted it as a traditional tenet of faith, and if one had the courage to leave it out of consideration altogether, one would perhaps be rid of the worst ballast with which one's personality is burdened."
Brandes, but "their virtuous foot-soldiers" according to Dr. Groneman to the opinion that this particular temple was completed in the year 701 of the Saka era, or 779 of the Christian era.
To Brandes, who reproached him for not recording the history of ideal engagements, and who remarked, "You know, there are sound potatoes and rotten potatoes in this world," Ibsen cynically replied, "I am afraid none of the sound ones have come under my notice"; and when Guldstad proves to the beautiful Svanhild the paramount importance of creature comforts, the last word of distrust in the sustaining power of love had been said.
The evidence of this proposition lies in the statement of St. Jerome before cited; in the similarity of the names of places in Belgic Gaul and in Britain; and in the direct comparison of sundry ancient Gaulish and Belgic words which have been preserved, with the existing Cymric dialects, for which I must refer to the learned work of Brandes.
Once more I let Brandes express it: "The object of Shakespeare's desire was not in the first place either the calling of a poet or fame as an actor, but wealth and that chiefly as a means for social advance. He took very much to heart his father's decline in material fortune and official respect.
Here he neglected his studies to write poetry and journalistic articles. In politics Björnson was a tremendous force. Dr. Brandes has said; "To speak the name of Björnson is like hoisting the colors of Norway." He was honored as a king in his native land. He won this recognition by no party affiliation, but by his natural gifts as a poet.
Some light was thrown on the moot point presently by the observations of Brandes and Benzenberg, which tended to show that falling-stars travel at an actual speed of from fifteen to ninety miles a second.
When the door opened, he walked in, and said, still standing: "You are Brandes? I am Lehmann." Without heeding the surprise he read in the young fellow's face, he went on: "I have come to ask you to give a lecture to the People's Society in the Casino's big room." As the addressee looked about to speak, he continued, drowning every objection, "I know what you are going to say.
According to Brandes the depression over their fate must have been one of the original causes for the poet's beginning melancholy. Perhaps the death of Shakespeare's father, which followed some months later, made a more lasting impression with all the memories which it recalled.
At last there was a minute's pause, permitting the younger one to interpose: "But you are making a mistake, it is not I you mean. It must be my elder brother." "Oh! very likely. Where does your brother live?" "Just underneath." A minute later there was a knock at the third-storey door beneath; it was opened, and without even stopping to sit down, the visitor began: "You are Brandes? I am Lehmann.
