blackswaneuroparedux:Heill dagr, heilir dags synir, heil nótt oc nipt! … Lengi ec svaf, lengi ec sofnuð var, … hverr feldi af mér fölvar nauðir? - Sigrdrífumál (The Lay of Sigrdrifa)Hail to the day! Hail to the sons of day! hail to night and her kin! … Long I slept, long was I sleeping … Who has lifted from me my pallid coercion?At the climax of Siegfried, an astonishing emotional and dramatic climax within Richard Wagner’s Ring, Brünnhilde at last awakens from her enchanted sleep. Her ecstatic song quotes directly from the Poetic Edda, combining lines from the first three stanzas of the Old Norse poem Sigrdrífumál (The Lay of Sigrdrifa). -- source link
