[ED: Taschenbuch], [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Balder the Beautiful: A Song of Divine Death It may be well for readers of the following poem to dismiss from their minds all recollection of the "Eddas," Ewald's "Balder," Oehlenschlager's "Balder hun Gode," and even Mr, Arnold's "Balder Dead." With the hero of these familiar works, my Balder has little in common he is neither the shadowy god of the "Edda," nor the colossal hero of Ewald, nor the good principle of Oehlenschlager, nor the Homeric demigod of Mr. Arnold. In the presentation of both the Father and Son, I have reverted to the lines of the most primitive mythology :discovering in the one the northern Messiah as well as the northern Apollo, in the other instead of the degraded Odin of later superstition) the Alfadur, or temporarily omnipotent godhead, who, despite his darker features, has affinity with both the Zeus of the Eleusinian mysteries and the Jehovah of the Bible. It is unnecessary, how. ever, further to explain the spirit of a poem which each competent reader will interpret in his own way, and which, if it fulfils its purpose at all, should have many meanings for many minds. A portion of "Balder the Beautiful" has already been printed in the pages of the Contemporary Review. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
