In Denmark, in one of those
green islands where the foliage of the beech-woods rustles in the wind, and
where many Huns' graves may be seen, was another poor boy born. He wore wooden
shoes, and when his father worked in a ship-yard, the boy, wrapped up in an old
worn-out shawl, carried his dinner to him every day. This poor child was now the
pride of his country; for the sculptured marble, the work of his hands, had
astonished the world.* To him was offered the honor of forming from the clay, a
model of the figure of him whose name, "John Christopher Frederick," had been
written by his father in the Bible.
The bust was cast in bronze, and part
of the metal used for this purpose was the old church bell, whose tones had died
away from the memory of those at home and elsewhere. The metal, glowing with
heat, flowed into the mould, and formed the head and bust of the statue which
was unveiled in the square in front of the old castle. The statue represented in
living, breathing reality, the form of him who was born in poverty, the boy from
Marbach, the pupil of the military school, the fugitive who struggled against
poverty and oppression, from the outer world; Germany's great and immortal poet,
who sung of Switzerland's deliverer, William Tell, and of the heaven-inspired
Maid of Orleans.
* The Danish sculptor Thorwaldsen. It was a beautiful
sunny day; flags were waving from tower and roof in royal Stuttgart, and the
church bells were ringing a joyous peal. One bell was silent; but it was
illuminated by the bright sunshine which streamed from the head and bust of the
renowned figure, of which it formed a part. On this day, just one hundred years
had passed since the day on which the chiming of the old church bell at Marbach
had filled the mother's heart with trust and joy- the day on which her child was
born in poverty, and in a humble home; the same who, in after-years, became
rich, became the noble woman-hearted poet, a blessing to the world- the
glorious, the sublime, the immortal bard, John Christoper Frederick Schiller!
THE END .
