The Hostile Brothers Poem by Heinrich Heine
The Hostile Brothers
Yonder, on the mountain summit,
Lies the castle wrapped in night;
In the valley gleam the sparkles
Struck from clashing swords in fight.
Brothers they who thus in fury
Fierce encounter hand to hand ;
Say, what cause could make a brother
'Gainst a brother turn his brand ?
Countess Laura's beaming glances
Did the fatal feud inflame,
Kindling both with equal passion
For the fair and noble dame.
Which hath gained the fair one's favor ?
Which shall win her for his bride ? —
Vain to scan her heart's inclining;
Draw the sword, let that decide.
Wild and desperate grows the combat,
Clashing strokes like thunder fly ;
All ! beware, ye savage warriors!
Evil powers by night are nigh.
Woe for von, ye bloody brothers !
Woe for thee, thou bloody vale !
By each other's swords expiring,
Sink the brothers, stark and pale.
Many a century has departed,
Many a race has found a tomb,
Yet from yonder rocky summits
Frown those moss-grown towers of gloom ;
And within the dreary valley
Fearful sights are seen by night ;
There, us midnight strikes, the brothers
Still renew their ghastly fight.

P1 A Fatal Feud Residue Of Fading Reasons were they thinking with testosterone muscle not brain? upon their deaths did she mourn them indifferent or in pain? did she die a virgin virtuous or soon depart with another suitor? as for fallen two brothers fatal folly was it naught but life hate hate wasted?
Can An Anger Hate Feud Be Stopped? were Countess Laura's beaming glances young girl flirt glances? were they purity of heart a young girl's joy happy innocent glances? was Countess Laura enjoying ego attention or did she hate the feud? did she sincere attempt to dissuade two brothers from a moral deadly fight?
