The conquerors sank into the mass of the conquered, and Woden yielded without a struggle to Christ. The strife between Briton and Englishman was in fact a strife between men of different races, while the strife between northman and Englishman was a strife between men whose race was the same.
And he drew a vivid sketch of the workman in a den no bigger than a dog-hutch, making articles that were to go all over the world. "Eh bien, quoi, c'est magnifique, ça!" cried he. The sad Northman interfered in praise of a peasant's life; he thought Paris bad for men and women; "centralization," said he But the landlord was at his throat in a moment.
Saxo Grammaticus, a very curious Northman of that same century, is still more unhesitating; scruples not to find out a historical fact in every individual mythus, and writes it down as a terrestrial event in Denmark or elsewhere. Torfaeus, learned and cautious, some centuries later, assigns by calculation a date for it: Odin, he says, came into Europe about the Year 70 before Christ.
On a certain day in early summer it was the anniversary of my marriage in Egypt Heliodore and I had dined with but two guests. Those guests were Jodd, the great Northman, my lieutenant, and his wife, Martina, for within a year of our return to Lesbos Jodd and Martina had married.
No such ties of blood and speech tended to unite the northman with the French among whom he settled along the Seine as united him to the Englishmen among whom he settled along the Humber.
Edmund the Saxon is no captive here, but a free man, and my guest; moreover, being a Saxon, the issue of this fight between him and a Northman can serve no purpose as an augury as to the success of our expedition against the Franks. Therefore do I protest against the conflict."
He will be welcome there, I foreguess; for every northman is either for Warwick or for Lancaster, and the two must unite now, I trow." "But Warwick is flown!" quoth the captain. "Tush! he has only flown as the falcon flies when he has a heron to fight with, wheeling and soaring. Woe to the heron when the falcon swoops! But you drink not!"
One by one these lay down, and when the last had done so the Northman rose quietly and stole out again into the forest. When he rejoined Edmund the latter set forward with him, and not a word was spoken until they were some distance from the camp; then Edmund stopped. "What have you learned?" he asked. "All that there is to learn, I think," the Northman replied.
There had been no straggling from that array, and no break had been made in its lines. Alsi had lost more than we, for his men had beaten against that steel wall in vain, and the arms of the Northman are better than those of any other nation.
Trading, starving, fighting, plundering, it was all one to them. On the whole, they seemed to like fighting the best of all, since that is what their sagas told most about. But Ulf was not by birth a Northman.
