Wise pamphlet by David Price. Many thanks to Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, UK, for kindly supplying the images from which this transcription was made "The Gold Horns" by Adam Oehlenschläger is a romantic poem published in the early 19th century, reflecting the initial wave of the Romantic Revival in Scandinavian literature. Recognized as a significant piece within its cultural context, the poem explores themes of nostalgia, antiquity, and the interplay between past and present. Oehlenschläger, influenced by his interactions with the Norwegian philosopher Henrik Steffens, crafted this work as a manifesto channeling his newfound romantic ideals. The narrative of "The Gold Horns" revolves around the ancient gold horns, symbols of Scandinavian history, which had been stolen and melted down. The poem delves into the longing for the past and the reverence for ancient relics, as characters seek to unearth their historical significance. It captures the essence of ancient myths and the beauty of the natural world, blending descriptions of nature with philosophical musings. Throughout the poem, there is a poignant mix of hope and melancholy, as the quest for the gold horns ultimately reflects broader existential themes entwining human aspirations and the inevitability of loss.
