Richard Wagner's Parsifal: Translated and Adapted for Performance in English (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Richard Wagner's Parsifal: Translated and Adapted for Performance in EnglishA lad, hotfoot in pursuit of a wild swan which one of his arrows has pierced, finds himself in a forest glade on the side of a mountain. There he meets a body of knights and esquires in attendance on a king who is suffering from a wound. The knights are a brotherhood of men whose mission it is to succor suffering innocence wherever they may find it. They dwell in a magnificent castle on the summit of the mountain within whose walls they assemble every day to contemplate and adore a miraculous vessel from which they obtain both physical and Spiritual sustenance. In order to enjoy the benefits which ﬂow from this talisman, they are required to preserve their bodies in ascetic purity. Their king has fallen from this estate and been grievously wounded in an encounter with a magiciah, who, having failed in his ambition to enter the order of knighthood, had built a castle over against that of the king, where, by practice of the black art and with the help of sirens and a sorceress, he seeks the ruin of the pure and celestial soldiery. In his hands is a lance which once belonged to the knights, but which he had wrested from their king and with which he had given the dolorous stroke from which the king is suffering.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Rhinegold (Das Rheingold): Prologue to the Trilogy the Ring of the Nibelung (Vorspiel Zu Der Trilogie Der Ring Des Nibelungen) Alberich of the tribe of Nibelungs, a race of cun ning, demoniacal gnomes, who inhabit Nibelheim in the bowels of the earth. Hideous and uncouth, he seeks to win the pleasures of love from the nymphs. But though tantalizing him by their banter, they elude their awkward pur suer, who slips about on the slimy rocks until his gaze is attracted by an increasing brilliance which glows from a rocky eminence. It is the Rhinegold, which presently shines forth daz zlingly in the rays of the rising sun, and around which the maidens circle with joyous shouts. They jeeringly betray to Alberich that he alone who is willing to renounce the pleasures of love, can possess himself of the gold; but that by its possession in the shape of a magic ring he may make himself ruler and lord of the world. Seized with new desire, the Nibelung curses love, which for him is but lust, and scrambling madly up the rock, tears the gold from its bed and disappears in the depths. Night falls again upon the waters, and the Rhinedaughters break forth into wild lamentation. The billows sink, giving way to veils of mist, which, as they clear away, disclose Scene II.
