He took two chairs, placed them in front of all the others, sat down on one, and said, 'If you please, first parquet'; and then the music began Sigurd Jorsalfar, Peer Gynt, and many other things.
Between 'Love's Comedy' and the 'League of Youth' he put forth his two great dramatic poems, 'Brand' and 'Peer Gynt' ; and even after the 'League of Youth' had opened the series of modern social dramas, he published 'Emperor and Galilean' before resuming his incisive study of the life that lay around him.
'Mi gwrddais gynt a morwynig, Wrth odreu y Wyddfa wen, Un ysgafn ei throed fel yr ewig A gwallt fel y nos ar ei phen; Ei grudd oedd fel y rhosyn, Un hardd a gwen ei gwawr; Yn canu cân, a'i defaid mân, O'r Wyddfa'n d'od i lawr.
It is, I think, no exaggeration to say that nowhere to the dramatic literature of the world, not by Shakespeare himself, is there introduced into a play so much loveliness of scenery, and such varied and exquisite appeal to the eyes, as there is in Peer Gynt.
The trolls make their appearance as usual, and with the aid of a tame polar bear Per Gynt puts them to flight. But these stories must be sharply differentiated from the Bjarki story and others of its type; so that while the Grettir story and the Grendel story are essentially of the same type, the story about the winged monster in the Hrólfssaga and the Grendel story are not of the same type.
Ibsen, from the perspective of Dresden, genuinely believed that Björnson, with his ardor and his energy and his eloquence, war, becoming a national danger. We have seen that Björnson had piqued Ibsen's vanity about Peer Gynt, and nothing exasperates a friendship more fatally than public principle grafted on a private slight.
He never again alluded to the Ibsenesque tendency of the populace, but when he came in one day and found her curled upon the sofa bent over "Peer Gynt" he laughed and told her to forget what he'd said that it was all rot. They had been walking homeward between mounds of high-piled snow and under a sun which Sally Carrol scarcely recognized.
Ibsen, who takes us into the matter far more resolutely than Jesus, is unable to find any golden rule: both Brand and Peer Gynt come to a bad end; and though Brand does not do as much mischief as Peer, the mischief he does do is of extraordinary intensity.
The music which he set to Ibsen's Peer Gynt brought him the largest measure of fame as an orchestral composer.
In German, the foreign language which he read most currently, he was strangely ignorant of Schiller and Heine, and hostile to Goethe, although Brand and Peer Gynt must owe something of their form to Faust.
