| In "The Valkyrie," the second opera of Wagner's "Ring" cycle, the hero Siegmund, in need of a weapon to fight the unwanted husband of his sister--and lover--Sieglinde, cries out: "Ein Schwert verhiess mir der Vater" ("My father pledged me a sword"), the words that appear just under the horizon here. |
