Not only be kind to it 'tis not that I mean; but love it, love it with the warmest passion of her soul. Jatgeir That can only those women do who have no child of their own to love. King Skule Only those women ? Jatgeir And chiefly women who are barren. King Skule Chiefly the barren ? They love the children of others with all their warmest passion? Jatgeir That will oftentimes befall.
King Skule Have you never had another skald for your friend, and has he never unfolded to you a great and noble song he thought to make? Jatgeir Yes, lord. King Skule Did you not then wish that you could slay him, to take his thought and make the song yourself? He speaks God's deepest truth and knows it not. I am as a barren woman.
Nor has he even Simeon's consolation that he could come down if he chose; for it seems that the authorities sent messengers demanding his return, with orders to let him stay if he showed willingness to come down and he stayed. Jatgeir. I needed sorrow; others there may be who need faith, or joy or doubt King Skule. Doubt as well? Jatgeir. Ay; but then must the doubter be strong and sound.
"The puir man's juist fair hudden doon wi' her, the lazy, weirdless trail. But it's the bairns I'm sorra for. Ye'll see them i' the mornin' gaen awa' berfit to the skule, an' a seerip piece i' their hand, wi' fient o' hand or face o' them washen, an' their claes as greasy as a cadger's pooch. It's a winder to me 'at Moses disna tak' to drink."
Moreover, he found his brilliant antagonist, Björnson, at Bergen on a like errand, and renewed an old friendship with this warm-hearted and powerful man of genius, destined to play through life the part of Håkon to Ibsen's Skule. They spent much of the subsequent winter together.
But Haakon's worst foe was Earl Skule, who continued his plots and intrigues, and who was supported by the clergy, these saying they had doubts if the boy was really the son of the elder Haakon and grandson of King Sverre. Such things were not in those days usually settled in courts of law, but by what was called the ordeal, one form of which was to walk barefoot over red-hot irons.
He had been carousing with his followers the night before and the wassailers were roused from their drunken sleep by the war-horns and ran out to see the king's ships driving in towards the piers. The rebels were quickly scattered, but Skule escaped, and at length was traced to the woods, where he was wandering with a few friends.
Jatgeir That were a strong deed; but I shall make a song of it as strong as the deed itself. King Skule Have you many unmade songs within you, Jatgeir? Jatgeir Nay, but many unborn; they are conceived one after the other, come to life, and are brought forth.
The action passes in the first half of the Thirteenth Century. Present: Skule; Jatgeir the Skald, an Icelander; Paul Flida, a nobleman. King Skule You come to my wish, Skald! Jatgeir I overheard some townsfolk at my lodging talking darkly of King Skule Let that wait. Tell me, Skald, you who have fared far abroad in strange lands have you ever seen a woman love another's child?
The comedy of types necessarily tends to keep within the limits of the known, and Molière in spite of Alceste and Don Juan is characteristically a character-drawer, as Racine is characteristically a psychologist. Ibsen is a psychologist or he is nothing. Earl Skule and Bishop Nicholas, Hedda Gabler and John Gabriel Borkman are daring explorations of hitherto uncharted regions of the human soul.
