I
still remember his face, but from whence he came, or whither he went, I know
not; no one knows. I have often thought it might have been Holger Danske
himself, who had swam down to us from Kronenburg to help us in the hour of
danger. That was my idea, and there stands his likeness." The wooden figure
threw a gigantic shadow on the wall, and even on part of the ceiling; it seemed
as if the real Holger Danske stood behind it, for the shadow moved; but this was
no doubt caused by the flame of the lamp not burning steadily.
Then the
daughter-in-law kissed the old grandfather, and led him to a large arm-chair by
the table; and she, and her husband, who was the son of the old man and the
father of the little boy who lay in bed, sat down to supper with him. And the
old grandfather talked of the Danish lions and the Danish hearts, emblems of
strength and gentleness, and explained quite clearly that there is another
strength than that which lies in a sword, and he pointed to a shelf where lay a
number of old books, and amongst them a collection of Holberg's plays, which are
much read and are so clever and amusing that it is easy to fancy we have known
the people of those days, who are described in them.
"He knew how to
fight also," said the old man; "for he lashed the follies and prejudices of
people during his whole life." Then the grandfather nodded to a place above the
looking-glass, where hung an almanac, with a representation of the Round Tower
upon it, and said "Tycho Brahe was another of those who used a sword, but not
one to cut into the flesh and bone, but to make the way of the stars of heaven
clear, and plain to be understood. And then he whose father belonged to my
calling,- yes, he, the son of the old image-carver, he whom we ourselves have
seen, with his silvery locks and his broad shoulders, whose name is known in all
lands;- yes, he was a sculptor, while I am only a carver.
