Off for the chase! by E. Klein 1899

"Now she appears, for whom all wait--the Lady of the Hunt. Alas, poor Frithjof, better look away! As the morning star rides a summer cloud, so light she sits her snowy palfrey. Canst thou bear to look upon those locks of gold thy hand so often stroked, those eyes whose azure was thy heaven, that graceful form which timidly clung to thee? Ah, no! look not that way, nor stay where thou canst hear that voice, sweet as the spring's own breath!

All is ready--they are off! Over mount and dale, heigho! The horns blow, the falcons soar straight up as though they would storm Odin's own heaven; the woodland beasts fly terrified, and make for cave and den and burrow."


-Frithjof, the viking of Norway: and Roland, the paladin of France by Zénaïde Alexeïevna Ragozin; Chapter XVI, pages 111-112
