“Who’s here, beside foul1 weather?”— KING LEAR.
“Mine enemy’s dog, though he had bit me,
Should have stood that night against my fire”
— CORDELIA
Part 1
Like a dead man gone to his shroud2,
The sun has sunk in a copper3 cloud,
And the wind is rising squally and loud
With many a stormy token —
Playing a wild funereal4 air
Through the branches bleak5, bereaved6, and bare,
To the dead leaves dancing here and there —
In short, if the truth were spoken,
It’s an ugly night for anywhere,
But an awful one for the Brocken!
For oh! to stop
On that mountain top,
After the dews of evening drop,
Is always a dreary8 frolic —
Then what must it be when nature groans9,
And the very mountain murmurs10 and moans
As if it writhed11 with the cholic —
With other strange supernatural tones,
From wood, and water, and echoing stones,
Not to forget unburied bones —
In a region so diabolic!
A place where he whom we call Old Scratch,
By help of his Witches — a precious batch12 —
Gives midnight concerts and sermons,
In a Pulpit and Orchestra built to match,
A plot right worthy13 of him to hatch,
And well adapted, he knows, to catch
The musical, mystical Germans!
However it’s quite
As wild a night
As ever was known on that sinister14 height
Since the Demon15-Dance was morriced —
The earth is dark, and the sky is scowling16,
And the blast through the pines is howling and growling17,
As if a thousand wolves were prowling
About in the old BLACK FOREST!
Madly, sadly, the Tempest raves18
Through the narrow gullies and hollow caves,
And bursts on the rocks in windy waves,
Like the billows that roar
On a gusty19 shore
Mourning over the mariners’ graves —
Nay20, more like a frantic21 lamentation22
From a howling set
Of demons23 met
To wake a dead relation.
Badly, madly, the vapors24 fly
Over the dark distracted sky,
At a pace that no pen can paint!
Black and vague like the shadows of dreams,
Scudding25 over the moon that seems,
Shorn of half her usual beams,
As pale as if she would faint!
The lightning flashes,
The thunder crashes,
The trees encounter with horrible clashes,
While rolling up from marsh28 and bog29,
Rank and rich,
As from Stygian ditch,
Rises a foul sulphureous fog,
Hinting that Satan himself is agog30 —
But leaving at once this heroical pitch,
The night is a very bad night in which
You wouldn’t turn out a dog.
Yet ONE there is abroad in the storm,
And whenever by chance
The moon gets a glance,
She spies the Traveller’s lonely form,
Walking, leaping, striding along,
As none can do but the super-strong;
And flapping his arms to keep him warm,
For the breeze from the North is a regular starver,
And to tell the truth,
More keen, in sooth,
And cutting than any German carver!
However, no time it is to lag,
And on he scrambles31 from crag to crag,
Like one determined32 never to flag —
Now weathers a block
Of jutting33 rock,
With hardly room for a toe to wag;
But holding on by a timber snag,
That looks like the arm of a friendly hag;
Then stooping under a drooping34 bough35,
Or leaping over some horrid36 chasm37,
Enough to give any heart a spasm38!
And sinking down a precipice39 now,
Keeping his feet the Deuce knows how,
In spots whence all creatures would keep aloof40,
Except the Goat, with his cloven hoof41,
Who clings to the shallowest ledge42 as if
He grew like the weed on the face of the cliff!
So down, still down, the Traveller goes,
Safe as the Chamois amid his snows,
Though fiercer than ever the hurricane blows,
And round him eddy43, with whirl and whizz,
Tornadoes44 of hail, and sleet45, and rain,
Enough to bewilder a weaker brain,
Or blanch46 any other visage than his,
Which spite of lightning, thunder and hail,
The blinding sleet and the freezing gale47,
And the horrid abyss,
If his foot should miss,
Instead of tending at all to pale,
Like cheeks that feel the chill of affright —
Remains48 the very reverse of white!
His heart is granite49 — his iron nerve
Feels no convulsive twitches50;
And as to his foot, it does not swerve51,
Tho’ the Screech52-Owls53 are flitting about him that serve
For parrots to Brocken Witches!
Nay, full in his very path he spies
The gleam of the Were Wolf’s horrid eyes;
But if his members quiver —
It is not for that— no, it is not for that—
Nor rat,
Nor cat,
As black as your hat,
Nor the snake that hiss’d, nor the toad54 that spat55,
Nor glimmering56 candles of dead men’s fat,
Nor even the flap of the Vampire57 Bat,
No anserine skin would rise thereat,
It’s the cold that makes Him shiver!
So down, still down, through gully and glen,
Never trodden by foot of men,
Past the Eagle’s nest and the She-Wolf’s den58,
Never caring a jot59 how steep
Or how narrow the track he has to keep,
Or how wide and deep
An abyss to leap,
Or what may fly, or walk, or creep,
Down he hurries through darkness and storm,
Flapping his arms to keep him warm —
Till threading many a pass abhorrent60,
At last he reaches the mountain gorge61,
And takes a path along by a torrent62 —
The very identical path, by St. George!
Down which young Fridolin went to the Forge,
With a message meant for his own death-warrant!
Young Fridolin! young Fridolin!
So free from sauce, and sloth63, and sin,
The best of pages
Whatever their ages,
Since first that singular fashion came in —
Not he like those modern and idle young gluttons64
With little jackets, so smart and spruce,
Of Lincoln green, sky-blue, or puce —
A little gold lace you may introduce —
Very showy, but as for use,
Not worth so many buttons!
Young Fridolin! young Fridolin!
Of his duty so true a fulfiller —
But here we need no farther go
For whoever desires the Tale to know,
May read it all in Schiller.
Faster now the Traveller speeds,
Whither his guiding beacon66 leads.
For by yonder glare
In the murky67 air,
He knows that the Eisen Hutte is there!
With its sooty Cyclops, savage68 and grim
Hosts, a guest had better forbear,
Whose thoughts are set upon dainty fare —
But stiff with cold in every limb,
The Furnace Fire is the bait for Him!
Faster and faster still he goes.
Whilst redder and redder the welkin glows,
And the lowest clouds that scud26 in the sky
Get crimson69 fringes in flitting by.
Till lo! amid the lurid70 light,
The darkest object intensely dark,
Just where the bright is intensely bright,
The Forge, the Forge itself is in sight,
Like the pitch-black hull71 of a burning bark,
With volleying smoke, and many a spark,
Vomiting72 fire, red, yellow, and white!
Restless, quivering tongues of flame!
Heavenward striving still to go,
While others, reversed in the stream, below,
Seem seeking a place we will not name,
But well that Traveller knows the same,
Who stops and stands,
So rubbing his hands,
And snuffing the rare
Perfumes in the air,
For old familiar odors are there,
And then direct by the shortest cut,
Like Alpine74 Marmot, whom neither rut,
Rivers, rocks, nor thickets75 rebut76,
Makes his way to the blazing Hut!
Part 2.
Idly watching the Furnace-flames,
The men of the stithy
Are in their smithy,
Brutal77 monsters, with bulky frames,
Beings Humanity scarcely claims,
But hybrids78 rather of demon race,
Unbless’d by the holy rite79 of grace,
Who never had gone by Christian80 names,
Mark, or Matthew, Peter, or James —
Naked, foul, unshorn, unkempt,
From touch of natural shame exempt81,
Things of which Delirium82 has dreamt —
But wherefore dwell on these verbal sketches83,
When traced with frightful84 truth and vigor85,
Costume, attitude, face, and figure,
Retsch has drawn86 the very wretches87!
However, there they lounge about,
The grim, gigantic fellows,
Hardly hearing the storm without,
That makes so very dreadful a rout88,
For the constant roar
From the furnace door.
And the blast of the monstrous89 bellows90!
Oh, what a scene
That Forge had been
For Salvator Rosa’s study!
With wall, and beam, and post, and pin,
And those ruffianly creatures, like Shapes of Sin,
Hair, and eyes, and rusty92 skin,
Illumed by a light so ruddy
The Hut, and whatever there is therein,
Looks either red-hot or bloody93!
And, oh! to hear the frequent burst
Of strange, extravagant94 laughter,
Harsh and hoarse95,
And resounding96 perforce
From echoing roof and rafter!
Though curses, the worst
That ever were curst,
And threats that Cain invented the first,
Come growling the instant after!
But again the livelier peal97 is rung,
For the Smith, hight Salamander,
In the jargon98 of some Titanic99 tongue,
Elsewhere never said or sung,
With the voice of a Stentor in joke has flung
Some cumbrous sort
Of sledge100-hammer retort
At Red Beard, the crew’s commander.
Some frightful jest — who knows how wild,
Or obscene, from a monster so defiled101,
And a horrible mouth, of such extent,
From flapping ear to ear it went,
And show’d such tusks102 whenever it smiled —
The very mouth to devour103 a child!
But fair or foul the jest gives birth
To another bellow91 of demon mirth,
That far outroars the weather,
As if all the Hy?nas that prowl the earth
Had clubb’d their laughs together!
And lo! in the middle of all the din27,
Not seeming to care a single pin,
For a prospect104 so volcanic105,
A Stranger steps abruptly107 in,
Of an aspect rather Satanic:
And he looks with a grin at those Cyclops grim,
Who stare and grin again at him
With wondrous108 little panic.
Then up to the Furnace the Stranger goes,
Eager to thaw109 his ears and nose,
And warm his frozen fingers and toes —
While each succeeding minute,
Hotter and hotter the Smithy grows,
And seems to declare,
By a fiercer glare,
On wall, roof, floor, and everywhere,
It knows the Devil is in it!
Still not a word
Is utter’d or heard,
But the beetle-brow’d Foreman nods and winks110,
Much as a shaggy old Lion blinks,
And makes a shift
To impart his drift
To a smoky brother, who, joining the links,
Hints to a third the thing he thinks;
And whatever it be,
They all agree
In smiling with faces full of glee,
As if about to enjoy High Jinks.
What sort of tricks they mean to play
By way of diversion, who can say,
Of such ferocious111 and barbarous folk,
Who chuckled112, indeed, and never spoke7
Of burning Robert the J?ger to coke,
Except as a capital practical joke!
Who never thought of Mercy, or heard her,
Or any gentle emotion felt;
But hard as the iron they had to melt,
Sported with Danger and romp’d with Murder!
Meanwhile the Stranger —
The Brocken Ranger106,
Besides another and hotter post,
That renders him not averse113 to a roast —
Creeping into the Furnace almost,
Has made himself as warm as a toast —
When, unsuspicious of any danger,
And least of all of any such maggot
As treating a body like a faggot,
All at once he is seized and shoven
In pastime cruel,
Like so much fuel,
Headlong into the blazing oven!
In he goes! with a frightful shout
Mock’d by the rugged114 ruffianly band,
As round the Furnace mouth they stand,
Bar, and shovel115, and ladle in hand,
To hinder their Butt65 from crawling out,
Who making one fierce attempt, but vain,
Receives such a blow
From Red-Beard’s crow
As crashes the skull116 and gashes117 the brain,
And blind, and dizzy, and stunn’d with pain,
With merely an interjectional “oh!”
Back he rolls in the flames again.
“Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho!” That second fall
Seerns the very best joke of all,
To judge by the roar,
Twice as loud as before,
That fills the Hut, from the roof to the floor,
And flies a league or two out of the door,
Up the mountains and over the moor119 —
But scarcely the jolly echoes they wake
Have well begun
To take up the fun,
Ere the shaggy Felons120 have cause to quake,
And begin to feel that the deed they have done,
Instead of being a pleasant one,
Was a very great error — and no mistake.
For why? — in lieu
Of its former hue121,
So natural, warm, and florid,
The Furnace burns of a brimstone blue,
And instead of the couleur de rose it threw,
With a cooler reflection — justly due —
Exhibits each of the Pagan crew,
Livid, ghastly, and horrid!
But vainly they close their guilty eyes
Against prophetic fears;
Or with hard and horny palms devise
To dam their enormous ears —
There are sounds in the air,
Not here or there,
Irresistible122 voices everywhere,
No bulwarks123 can ever rebut,
And to match the screams
Tremendous gleams,
Of Horrors that like the Phantoms124 of dreams,
They see with their eyelids125 shut!
For awful coveys of terrible things,
With forked tongues and venomous stings,
On hagweed, broomsticks, and leathern wings,
Are hovering127 round the Hut!
Shapes, that within the focus bright
Of the Forge, are like shadows and blots128;
But farther off, in the shades of night,
Clothed with their own phosphoric light,
Are seen in the darkest spots.
Sounds! that fill the air with noises,
Strange and indescribable voices,
From Hags, in a diabolical129 clatter130 —
Cats that spit curses, and apes that chatter131
Scraps132 of cabalistical matter —
Owls that screech, and dogs that yell —
Skeleton hounds that will never be fatter —
All the domestic tribes of Hell,
Shrieking133 for flesh to tear and tatter,
Bones to shatter,
And limbs to scatter134,
And who it is that must furnish the latter
Those blue-looking Men know well!
Those blue-looking men that huddle135 together,
For all their sturdy limbs and thews
Their unshorn locks, like Nazarene Jews,
And buffalo136 beards, and hides of leather,
Huddled137 all in a heap together,
Like timid lamb, and ewe, and wether,
And as females say,
In a similar way,
Fit for knocking down with a feather!
In and out, in and out,
The gathering138 Goblins hover126 about,
Ev’ry minute augmenting139 the rout;
For like a spell
The unearthly smell
That fumes73 from the Furnace, chimney and mouth,
Draws them in — an infernal Legion
From East, and West, and North, and South,
Like carrion140 birds from ev’ry region,
Till not a yard square
Of the sickening air
But has a Demon or two for its share,
Breathing fury, woe141, and despair,
Never, never was such a sight!
It beats the very Walpurgis Night,
Displayed in the story of Doctor Faustus,
For the scene to describe
Of the awful tribe,
If we were two G?thes, would quite exhaust us!
Suffice it, amid that dreary swarm142,
There musters143 each foul repulsive144 form
That ever a fancy overwarm
Begot145 in its worst delirium;
Besides some others of monstrous size,
Never before revealed to eyes,
Of the genus Megatherium!
Meanwhile the demons, filthy146 and foul,
Gorgon147, Chimera148, Harpy, and Ghoul,
Are not contented149 to jibber and howl
As a dirge150 for their late commander;
But one of the bevy151 — witch or wizard,
Disguised as a monstrous flying lizard152,
Springs on the grisly Salamander,
Who stoutly153 fights, and struggles, and kicks.
And tries the best of his wrestling tricks,
No paltry154 strife155,
But for life, dear life.
But the ruthless talons156 refuse to unfix,
Till far beyond a surgical158 case,
With starting eyes, and black in the face,
Down he tumbles as dead as bricks!
A pretty sight for his mates to view!
Those shaggy murderers looking so blue,
And for him above all,
Red-bearded and tall,
With whom, at that very particular nick,
There is such an unlucky crow to pick,
As the one of iron that did the trick
In a recent bloody affair —
No wonder feeling a little sick,
With pulses beating uncommonly159 quick,
And breath he never found so thick,
He longs for the open air!
Three paces, or four,
And he gains the door;
But ere he accomplishes one,
The sound of a blow comes, heavy and dull,
And clasping his fingers round his skull —
However the deed was done,
That gave him that florid
Red gash118 on the forehead —
With a roll of the eyeballs perfectly160 horrid,
There’s a tremulous quiver,
The last death-shiver,
And Red-Beard’s course is run!
Halloo! Halloo!
They have done for two!
But a heavyish job remains to do!
For yonder, sledge and shovel in hand,
Like elder Sons of Giant Despair,
A couple of Cyclops make a stand,
And fiercely hammering here and there,
Keep at bay the Powers of Air —
But desperation is all in vain! —
They faint — they choke,
For the sulphurous smoke
Is poisoning heart, and lung, and brain,
They reel, they sink, they gasp161, they smother162.
One for a moment survives his brother,
Then rolls a corpse163 across the other!
Halloo! Halloo!
And Hullabaloo!
There is only one more thing to do —
And seized by beak164, and talon157, and claw,
Bony hand, and hairy paw,
Yea, crooked165 horn, and tusky166 jaw167,
The four huge Bodies are haul’d and shoven
Each after each in the roaring oven!
That Eisen Hutte is standing168 still,
Go to the Hartz whenever you will,
And there it is beside a hill,
And a rapid stream that turns many a mill;
The self-same Forge — you’ll know it at sight —
Casting upward, day and night,
Flames of red, and yellow, and white!
Ay, half a mile from the mountain gorge,
There it is, the famous Forge,
With its Furnace — the same that blazed of yore —
Hugely fed with fuel and ore;
But ever since that tremendous Revel169,
Whatever Iron is melted therein —
As Travellers know who have been to Berlin —
Is all as black as the Devil!
