She had gone to Bayreuth, where she had been the margrave's mistress. I had promised to go and see her, but C C and my fair nun M M had left me neither the time nor the wish to do so. Soon after I was put under the Leads, and then I had other things to think about.
I folded my arms on my breast, and stood as if rooted to the spot, confronting the column of smoke and the stride of the giant Foot. And the Foot halted, mute. Again, in the momentary hush of that suspense, I heard a voice, it was Margrave's. "The last hour expires, the work is accomplished! Come! come!
In that conversation, we had indirectly touched upon the prodigies which I had not brought myself to speak of with frank courage, and certainly nothing in Margrave's manner had betrayed consciousness of my suspicions; on the contrary, the open frankness with which he evinced his predilection for mystic speculation, or uttered his more unamiable sentiments, rather tended to disarm than encourage belief in gloomy secrets or sinister powers.
I placed my hand on Margrave's shoulder and whispered, "To me earth and air seem to vibrate. Do they seem to vibrate to you?" "I know not, I care not," he answered impetuously. "The essence is bursting the shell that confined it. Here are my air and my earth! Trouble me not. Look to the circle feed the lamps if they fail!"
Meanwhile, I gathered from the housekeeper's rambling answers to questions put to her by the steward, as I moved on, glancing at the pictures, that Margrave's visit that day was not his first.
But at that moment no such subtle reflections delayed my inquisitive eager mind from its immediate purpose, who and what was this creature boasting of a secret through which I might rescue from death the life of her who was my all upon the earth? I gathered rapidly and succinctly together all that I knew and all that I guessed of Margrave's existence and arts.
But so many bold men stood by the door that Rudeger came in great scathe. Athirst for blood, Gunther and Gernot let him pass in. Certes, they were heroes. Giselher drew back sorrowing. He hoped to live yet awhile; wherefore he avoided Rudeger in the strife. Then the Margrave's men ran at their foemen, and followed their master like good knights.
Your affections contribute to strengthen your fancy in its war on your reason. The girl you so passionately love develops, to your disquietude and terror, the visionary temperament which, at her age, is ever liable to fantastic caprices. She hears Margrave's song, which you say has a wildness of charm that affects and thrills even you.
Was he not the mysterious likeness of that awful Mother, beautiful as Apollo in one aspect, direful as Typhon in another? "What a strange-looking cane you have, sir!" said a little girl, who was one of the party, and who had entwined her arm round Margrave's. "Let me look at it." "Yes," said Strahan, "that cane, or rather walking-staff, is worth looking at.
He voided Rudeger, for still he had hope of life. Then the margrave's men rushed at their foes; in knightly wise one saw them follow their lord. In their hands they bare their keen-edged swords, the which cleft there many a helm and lordly shield. The tired warriors dealt the men of Bechelaren many a mighty blow, that cut smooth and deep through the shining mail, down to the very quick.
