Seite 10 - I shall go home with the conviction that the thing is not impossible where a vivid faith and an intense devotion are combined in the representation. I have never seen so affecting a spectacle, or one more calculated to draw out the best and purest feelings of the heart.
Seite 15 - Whilst they sang, our hearts were strangely touched, and our eyes wandered away from these singular peasantangels and their peasant audience up to the deep, cloudless sky ; we heard the rustle of the trees, and caught glimpses of the mountains, and all seemed a strange, poetical dream.
Seite 5 - Mine eyes desire him, and with dawning day My heart goes forth to find him on the way." Ah, how that music lingers, and again Returns the dying sweetness of the strain ! How clearly on my inner sense is borne The fair fresh beauty of the mountain morn, And cries of flocks afar, and mixed with these The green delightful tumult of the trees, — The birds that o'er us from the upper day Threw flitting shade, and went their airy way, — The bright-robed chorus and the silent throng, And that first...
Seite 8 - ... angels fluttering from the sky ; — Ah, sweet that still upon this earth should be So many simple souls in holy glee, Such maids and men, unknowing shame or guile, Whose whole bright nature beams into a smile ! Thro' all these scenes the fateful story ran, And the grave presence of the Son of Man : There was the evening feast, remembered long, The mystic act and sacramental song ; There was the dreadful garden, rock and tree, Waker and sleepers in Gethsemane ; — The selfsame forms that I so...
Seite 3 - Cross," consisting of scenes from the Old Testament in a dramatic form, with tableaux-vivants from the New Testament ; each of the six parts of the play representing a type and anti-type connected with the Passion, and inverting the order and arrangement of the celebrated Passions-Spiel. A halfcentury had elapsed since the presentation of this play and every eye was expectant, every breast swelling with emotion, as actors and spectators were hurrying to the rude theatre just outside the village....
Seite 10 - ... of poetry and an art-training to their humble and else uneventful lives. Well may we, whose high privilege it was to have seen this wonderful representation, unite in the words of the pious monk of Ettal in his chronicle of the results of the first performance of the Passions-Spiel, Anno 1634. : " And not only were they all healed which were afflicted, but they begged God to bless these His servants who had thus lovingly exposed the Passion of His blessed Christ.
Seite 9 - ... its representation of the coming of "light out of darkness," the scene of the return of Joseph as Governor of Egypt to his father's arms and love, typifying the return of the Captain of our Salvation to His Father's Divine presence. The dramatic "action" was as usual excellent and was followed by the tableau of the Ascension. In this scene, Christ bearing still the marks of the Passion, but with surroundings catching something of the hues of heaven, was represented as standing on the mount with...
Seite 6 - ... infinite tenderness, pity, love ; the wonderful dignity of manner ; all brought to our mind most vividly, almost painfully, the Galilean peasant, the Son of Mary in His perfect humanity. The effect of all this was heightened by the purple robe falling in most artistic folds, and the sandaled feet ;— every detail of costume, in fact, being copied from paintings by the old masters — and every gesture being rendered with the most perfect though unstudied grace. The character and costumes of...
Seite 2 - ... within the influences of a potent spell, such as the deepest and most reverent faith alone could exert. The evening was well-nigh gone as we drove around the base of the Kofel — a frowning headland surmounted by two lofty crosses, towering several thousand feet above the vale and village — and entered the chief street of Ober-Ammergau. We were almost the latest comers of a long procession of visitors from abroad that had passed during the day between the rows of picturesque chalets on either...
Seite 6 - ... simple, unaffected acting of these peasants and the perfect naturalness of the surroundings gave to these scenes an impressiveness and an interest which brought tears to many eyes, and profoundly affected even the most indifferent of the spectators. The tableaux representing the New Testament anti-types of these events of the Old Testament story were most admirably performed. In the first, that of the cleansing of the Temple, we saw for the first time the Christus, Joseph Maier, in character.
