Then I gave a few lines from another yet more unequal poem, worthy in themselves of the best of the other. I quote the first strophe entire: CHILDHOOD. "I cannot reach it; and my striving eye Dazzles at it, as at eternity.
He answered: "In a few short days I'll come again. Tell ye to Brunhild, that ye've sent me hence." "Surcoat", which here translates the M.H.G. "wafenhemde", is a light garment of cloth or silk worn above the armor. "Azagouc". See Zazamanc, Adventure VI, note 2. This strophe is evidently a late interpolation, as it contradicts the description given above. Weights.
The Minstrel continued his laments, reddening with the strain of the painful crowing which ended every strophe. His narrow chest heaved with the effort; two rosettes of sickly purple colored his cheeks; his slender neck dilated, the veins standing out in blue relief.
But when the second strophe had been sung, and the sisters began their second response, a thrill of excitement went through all as the long-silent voice of Sister Tabea rose above the rest with even more than its old fervor and expression.
One of the hymns contained a strophe "Should misfortune come upon us," which her friends wanted her to have omitted as striking too melancholy a note. "No," she said, "let it be sung. I don't expect my new position to be always a bed of roses. Prince William is of the same mind, and we have both determined to bear everything in common, and thus make what is unpleasant more endurable."
He hesitated from time to time as if undecided, repeating the same verses over and over until he managed to pass on to new ones, uttering at the end of each strophe, according to the custom of the country, a strange screech like a peacock, a harsh and strident trill like that which accompanies the songs of the Arabs.
In that chamber were virginity, with an atmosphere of mysticism, inventiveness unwilling to recognize the impossible a chapter of magic, a strophe of a poem, and in it, as a central point for all else, was the slender form of Cara on a lofty place, fallen asleep calmly, arrayed as in a bridal robe, with her delicate face, which, in the pale, golden hair, with a shade of whiteness barely discernible, emerged from the flood of snowy crape and flowers.
The two told their story in alternate sentences like the Strophe and Antistrophe of a Greek chorus. Ha, yes! "So ye can't get in because they've locked the door, an' ye don't know what to do about it?" said O'Hara, at the conclusion of the narrative. Renford and Harvey informed him in chorus that that was the state of the game up to present date. "An' ye want me to get them out for you?"
A late historian characterizes him as "the first to break the monotony of the choral song, which had consisted previously of nothing more than one uniform stanza, by dividing it into the Strophe, the Antistrophe, and the Epodus the turn, the return, and the rest."
The Scandinavian Skalds have had the same savage accents, and one can remember a strophe from the song of the death of Raynor Lodbrog: "I was yet young when in the Orient we gave the wolves a bloody repast and a pasture to the birds. When our rude swords rang on the helmet, then they saw the sea rise and the vultures wade in blood." Marmier, Lettres sur l'Islemde.
