Halaman xxviii - Nibelunge," such as it was written down at the end of the twelfth, or the beginning of the thirteenth century, is
Halaman xxiv - ... Gunnar goes to her again, and asked her, what wrought her woe, or if there were anything that might amend it. " I will not live," says Brynhild, " for Sigurd has bewrayed me, yea, and thee no less, whereas thou didst suffer him to come into my bed: lo thou, two men in one dwelling I will not have; and this shall be Sigurd's death, or thy death, or my death; — for now has he told Gudrun all, and she is mocking me even now...
Halaman xxviii - Nibelunge," or to Wolfram's grand poems of the " Parcival" and the " Holy Grail," it is the same everywhere. There is always a mingling of light and shade, — in joy a fear of sorrow, in sorrow a ray of hope, and throughout the whole, a silent wondering at this strange world. Here is a specimen of an anonymous poem; and anonymous poetry is an invention peculiarly Teutonic. It was written before the twelfth century ; its language is strangely simple, and sometimes uncouth. But there is truth in it;...
Halaman xiii - Europe by the Avars, and of Italy by the Lombards, forming the termination of the second period of the great migrations from the north and the east. PERIOD IV. — The political geography of Europe, western and central Asia, and northern Africa, at the beginning of the ninth century during the reign of Charlemagne, and the highest development of the Saracenic Empire under the Abbasid Caliphs of Bagdad and the Ommiyad Emirs of Cordova.

Halaman xxi - He followed their advice, and struck off Regin's head, ate Fafnir's heart, and drank the blood of both. Then he hearkened again to what the eagles said.
Halaman v - was received with signal favor in Germany, and deservedly so, as it is a truly grand production, exhibiting the characters and incidents of the Nibelung saga with rare force and clearness of delineation. As the poem has not hitherto been accessible in the English language, the attempt has been made in this volume to present a translation of this great tragedy, faithful to the original, both in spirit and in form."— Preface. Notes.
Halaman xiv - Father in Heaven.' The Icelandic missionaries had peculiar advantages in their relation to the system of paganism which they came to combat. Nowhere else, perhaps, in the whole history of Christianity, has the missionary been brought face to face with a race of gods who were believed by their own worshippers to be doomed to death. The missionaries had only to proclaim that Balder was dead, that the mighty Odin and Thor were dead. The people knew that these gods were to die, and the message of the...
Halaman xv - Heimskringla' (born 1178, died 1241) and is mainly in prose and may be regarded as a sort of commentary upon the Elder Edda.
Halaman xv - Heimskringla," the great history of the North. Snorre's collection was known before Sveinsson's discovery, and is somewhat like the Edda of Saemund, but of later origin. The two Eddas have therefore been distinguished from each other by the terms " Elder Edda," or the Edda 5 n i of Saemund, and "Younger Edda," or the Edda of Snorre Sturleson.
Halaman xvi - Lodbrok, whose wife Aslaug was supposed to be a daughter of Sigurd and Brynhild (Brunhild) ; and this saga seems to owe its existence, at least partly, to the purpose of glorifying the Norwegian dynasty. The...
