In Mendelssohn's "Oedipus in Kolonos," however, the music expresses emotion rather than German emotion, and abounds in splendors of harmony that are strikingly Wagnerian in advance. Paine's second chorus describes the imaginary pursuit by Fate of the murderer of King Laius. It is full of grim fire, and the second strophe is at first simply terrible with awe.
He had never before bothered to find out where the famous apostle of Valencia was entombed.... He recalled suddenly a strophe of the songs of praise that the devotees of his land used to sing before the altars of this saint. Sure enough he had gone to die in "Vannes, in Brittainy," a mere geographical name which until then had lacked any significance for him.... And so this lad was from Vannes?
After about an hour's steady firing, on the same lines as the strophe and anti-strophe of a Greek chorus noise and damage about equal, that is the excitement began in real earnest. The guns were limbered up and we advanced out of the barley fields and galloped under heavy fire across a sandy stretch to a position right in the open. We had a lively half-minute unlimbering the guns.
"I wrote that poem immediately after leaving Marienbad, while the feeling of all I had experienced there was fresh. At eight in the morning, when we stopped at the first stage, I wrote down the first strophe; and thus I went on composing in the carriage, and writing down at every stage what I had just composed in my head, so that by the evening the whole was on paper.
"La! my friend," she said, with the same assumed flippancy of manner, "then you are where you were before, aren't you? and you can let me enjoy the last strophe of the ARIA. Faith!" she added, ostentatiously smothering an imaginary yawn, "had you not spoken about my brother . . ." "I am coming to him now, citoyenne.
'And he might know he is not wanted, 'If he chooses to stay, he cares little whether he is wanted or not. 'Come, this is very interesting, said Osborne. 'It is like the strophe and anti-strophe in a Greek chorus. Pray, go on. 'Don't you know him? asked Molly. 'Yes, by sight, and I think we were once introduced.
The voice was so full of joy that at first it sounded no more articulate than a bird's song. It was like a strophe from the primeval language of all languages. Henry and Meeks seemed to understand, finally, what the voice said, more from some inner sympathy, which dated back to their youth and chorded with it, than from any actual comprehension of spoken words.
"Thy song is marvellous, but I will make one remark: in the fourth line of the third strophe the metre leaves something to be desired." Nero, blushing with shame, as if caught in a disgraceful deed, had fear in his look, and answered in a whisper also, "Thou seest everything. I know. I will re-write that. But no one else noticed it, I think.
If the weather is calm and hot, towards mid-day the song of the Cigale is divided into strophes of several seconds' duration, which are separated by brief intervals of silence. The strophe begins suddenly.
“You show truly excellent courage, dear Democrates,” cried Lycon, in pseudo-admiration. “That speech was quite worthy of a tragic actor.” “If we’re in the theatre, let the chorus sing its last strophe and have done. You disgust me.” “Peace, peace,” ordered Lycon, his hand still on the Athenian’s shoulder, “I will make all the haste I can, but obstinacy is disagreeable.
