The lights dim, and a weighty silence falls upon the audience. From all over Europe and America, these fifteen hundred men and women have come to spend many days in this small German town and many hours in this theater. Some are merely curious. Some are there because it's the fashion. But many have come out of devotion to the musical dramas of a composer they revere, almost worship -- a composer who himself designed and built the theater they sit in. To them, this theater is a temple, and their journey a pilgrimage. For a full minute or more, they wait solemnly in the dark, barely daring to move, their attention resting on the curtained stage below. Then the first musical notes float up and surround them -- high, soft, sustained notes of strings and woodwinds -- from an orchestra entirely hidden from view. The composer's devotees know what vision this shimmering music is meant to impart: the descent from Heaven of the Holy Grail, the drinking cup of Christ at the Last Supper. In their minds, they watch it draw nearer to earth, as the music grows louder and deeper and louder still, at last bursting out in horns, tympani, and cymbals. Then the Grail ascends once more, the music gradually softening until strings and woodwinds lead out as gently as they led in. And now the curtains part, and the audience knows it will soon meet the knight who serves that Grail. . . . For ages 10 and up.

"Her dreaminess can't fool me," said Frederick. "I have a witness to her crime. But my word alone should be enough, and I'm ready to defend it with my sword." "Then God alone must decide," said the king, "in trial by combat. To the just he will give the victory. Elsa, who will fight for you?" "The knight from my dream," said Elsa. "As his reward, he shall take all my father's lands -- and myself as wife, if he'll have me." At the king's command, the herald called, "Let him who will fight for Elsa of Brabant come forth!" But no one stepped forward. Elsa told the king, "He must yet be far away and not have heard. Please call again." The king assented, and the herald called again. "Let him who will fight for Elsa of Brabant come forth!" But still there was no response. Elsa knelt in prayer. "Lord, tell my knight I need him now! Show him to me, just as he appeared before." Then shouts went up from men by the river's edge. "Look!" "A swan!" "It's pulling a knight in a boat!"

A study of the early traces of the legend of the Swan-Knight, and a account of its development in the stories of Lohengrin and Helyas, with notes on other knights of the Swan, and an account of the traditional order of the Swan. The author discusses the dates of the origin of the two most important developments of the legend, the documentary evidence thereof, and the development of the story through four centuries. * * * * * "He has successfully avoided the pedantic dryness while keeping hold on scholarly accuracy; and the book will appeal to the lay readers, whose interest to their department of literary activity." -N. Y. Times [1910]

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI REVIEW AND CONCLUSIONS 'HERE are, therefore, only two named per sons of real importance in literature who are known as the Swan-Knight, Lohengrin and Helyas; and it is an interesting fact that, so far as we can judge from the evidence at hand, they seem to have made their appearance very close to the same period. Lohengrin comes into the literary horizon in connection with one of the great works of German literature; and by reason of his association with that wonderful poem, our attention is attracted and our admiration is kindled. Moreover, the date of the poem can be fixed within close limits. Helyas, on the other hand, seems to creep into view quietly and even mysteriously, and under circumstances which make very difficult the task of assigning an exact date. His creator is unknown, and the story of his adventures would not of itself command special attention were it not for the connection established with the life of Godfrey of Bouillon, his reputed grandson. In fact, as one writer has said, Helyas owes his life entirely to his illustrious descendant. We have noted in Chapter III. the considerations which seem to indicate that the Swan-Knight story in Wolfram's Parzival was an original contribution by the author of that poem, and that the identification of Lohengrin with the hero of the legend was not taken from any earlier work. It has been claimed that Gerbert's "continuation" of Chretien's unfinished poem Perceval le Gallois shows indications of the use of an earlier form of the Perceval story, which may have been used also by Wolfram, and may have included a reference to the Swan-Knight legend. The discussion on this point is irrelevant to our present subject except in so far as it might reveal traces of a...

Excerpt from The Two Knights of the Swan, Lohengrin and Helyas: A Study of the Legend of the Swan-Knight, With Special Reference to Its Two Most Important Developments It is hardly necessary to say that in the preparation of this book the references to the contents of the manuscripts do not represent on the part of the present writer. The work of that nature, which unfortunately is as yet limited and incomplete, has been done by scholars qualified for the difficult task; and the results of their work have been freely used in the pages which follow. The various versions of the Swan-Knight story which may be found in books treating of legendary lore are interesting as a means of entertainment, but they are of little or no critical value. The information which is of real value in studying this subject is not found in the current literature of the time, but must be sought in books and periodicals which are not of easy reference for the ordinary reader.
