THE AMERICAN-SCANDINA VI AN REVIEW

ality, his sympathetic understanding of other artists, his unselfishness, 
and his pride unimpaired. 
By that time public opinion had changed; Frolich’s fellow-citizens 
not only had honored him with feasts, but they set aside a room in 
the City Hall in Copenhagen to bear his name. In this room the 
walls have been hung with gobelins woven from designs based on his 
drawings illustrating Fabricius’s History of Denmark. They are 
the pictures which, when we first saw them, made our childish hearts 
swell with presentiment of all that is great in art, and which whenever 
we have seen them in later years have enhanced the first impression: 
“Skjold’s Fight with the Bear,” “Uffe the Irresolute,” “Rolf Krake 
and His Men, Their Trial by Fire and Heroic Death,” “Hjalmar 
and Angantyr,” “Hagbart and Signe,” and “Regner and Thora.” 
From the drawings large cartoons have been made by such painters 
as Niels Skovgaard and Malthe Engelstedt, and with these as an 
intermediate link, the gobelins have been woven by experts such as 
Dagmar Olrik and Louise Harboe. In their unique beauty they will 
tell coming generations what this great artist meant for Denmark. 
Evening Song 
By Bernhard Severin Ingemann 
Translated from the Danish hy Robert Hillyer 
The huge and silent Night now comes 
With lights of scattered fire , 
Each light a sun to countless homes 
In vaster vales and higher. 
Into the depths of heaven's sea 
The night her wings immerses , 
While chants the starry psaltery 
From radiant universes. 
O Nightsjjeed forth thy worlds that sail 
The everlasting river 
While holy stars and mortals hail 
With praise the great Life-giver.
