We cannot, I think, get nearer to the truth than Georg Brandes did in the above-quoted phrase from his first notice of the play, describing it as not, perhaps, the poets greatest work, but certainly his noblest deed.
...Nor can I blame you for wishing to keep up with the intellectual movements that are said to be going on in the great world-where you have let your son pass so much of his life.
...Only look at your own son-there is no reason why we should not say it in his presence-what has the consequence been for him?
...Well, it was just this, your Reverence: weve been paid off down yonder-my grateful thanks to you, maam,-and now everythings finished, Ive been thinking it would be but right and proper if we, that have been working so honestly together all this time-well, I was thinking we ought to end up with a little prayer-meeting to-night.
...When Im at home, I see it, of course; and thats almost the hardest part for me.-But now you know the whole story and now we wont talk any more about it to-day.
