J. Wise discovered among the +miscellaneous MSS. of Borrow a fragment which proved to be part of a +version of Oehlenschlager's _Gold Horns_. His attention being drawn to +the fact, hitherto unknown, that Borrow had translated this famous poem, +he sought for, and presently found, a complete MS. of the poem, and from +this copy the present text has been printed. The paper on which it is +written is watermarked 1824, and it is probable that the version was +composed in 1826. The hand-writing coincides with that of several of the +pieces included in the _Romantic Ballads_ of that year, and there can be +little doubt that Borrow intended _The Gold Horns_ for that volume, and +rejected it at last. He was conscious, perhaps, that his hand had lacked +the skill needful to reproduce a lyric the melody of which would have +taxed the powers of Coleridge or of Shelley. Nevertheless, his attempt +seems worthy of preservation. + +_The Gold Horns_ marks one of the most important stages in the history of +Scandinavian literature. It is the earliest, and the freshest, specimen +of the Romantic Revival in its definite form. In this way, it takes in +Danish poetry a place analogous to that taken by _The Ancient Mariner_ in +English poetry. + +The story of the events which led to the composition of _The Gold Horns_ +is told independently, by Steffens and by Oehlenschlager in their +respective Memoirs, and the two accounts tally completely. Adam Gottlob +Oehlenschlager (1779-1850), the greatest poet whom the North of Europe +has produced, had already attracted considerable renown and even profit +by his writings, which were in the classico-sentimental manner of the +late 18th century, when, in the summer of 1802, the young Norwegian +philosopher, Henrik Steffens, arrived in Copenhagen from Germany, where +he had imbibed the new romantic ideas. He began to give lectures on +aesthetics, and these awakened a turmoil of opposition. Among those who +heard him, no one was more scandalised than Oehlenschlager, then in his +twenty-third year. He was not acquainted with Steffens, but in the +course of the autumn they happened to meet at a restaurant in Copenhagen, +when they instantly experienced a violent mutual attraction. Steffens +has described how deep an impression was made upon him by the handsome +head, flashing eyes, and graceful vivacity of the poet, while +Oehlenschlager bears witness to being no less fascinated by the gravity +and enthusiasm of the philosopher. The new friends found it impossible +to part, and sixteen hours had gone by, and 3 a.m. had struck, before +Oehlenschlager could tear himself away from the company of Steffens. + +He scarcely slept that night, and rose in a condition of bewilderment and +rapture. His first act, after breakfast, was to destroy a whole volume +of his own MS. poetry, which was ready for press, and for which a +publisher had promised him a handsome sum of money. His next was to sit +down and write _The Gold Horns_, a manifesto of his complete conversion +to the principles of romanticism. Later in the day he presented himself +again at Steffens' lodgings, bringing the lyric with him, "to prove," as +he says, "to Steffens that I was a poet at last beyond all doubt or +question." His new friend received him with solemn exultation. "Now you +are indeed a poet," he said, and folded him in his arms. The conversion +of Oehlenschlager to romanticism meant the conquest of Danish literature +by the new order of thought. + +Oehlenschlager has explained what it was that suggested to him the +leading idea of his poem. Two antique horns of gold, discovered some +time before in the bogs of Slesvig, had been recently stolen from the +national collection at Rosenborg, and the thieves had melted down the +inestimable treasures. Oehlenschlager treats these horns as the reward +for genuine antiquarian enthusiasm, shown in a sincere and tender passion +for the ancient relics of Scandinavian history. From a generation +unworthy to appreciate them, the _Horns_ had been withdrawn, to be +mysteriously restored at the due romantic hour. He was, when he came +under the influence of Steffens, absolutely ripe for conversion, filled +with the results of his Icelandic studies, and with an imagination +redolent of _Edda_ and the Sagas. To this inflammable material, Henrik +Steffens merely laid the torch of his intelligence. + +It is impossible to pretend that Borrow has caught the enchanting beauty +and delicacy of the Danish poem. But he has made a gallant effort to +reproduce the form and language of Oehlenschlager, and we have thought it +not without interest to print opposite his version the whole of the +original Danish. + + EDMUND GOSSE. + +GULDHORNENE {10} THE GOLD HORNS + +De higer og soger Upon the pages +I gamle Boger, Of the olden ages, +I oplukte Hoie, And in hills where are lying +Med speidende Oie, The dead, they are prying; +Paa Svaerd og Skjolde, On armour rusty, +I mulne Volde, In ruins musty, +Paa Runestene, On Rune-stones jumbled, +Blandt smuldnede Bene.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
