Hans Christian Andersen wrote "The Old Bachelor's Nightcap." I mangled the words "Hysken Sträde" because they are a nonsense version of Hyskenstræde -- which I'm sure I would have mangled also. I should probably just say them in American instead of trying to figure out how to say them "right." Eisenach is a city just south of the halfway point of a straight-line journey between Berlin and Dusseldorf. Lady Holle might be a Scandinavian goddess or demi-goddess. The Tannhauser legends are pretty interesting. Ah, for the days before science. The tale of Tristram and Iseult has been told many ways. "Walter of the Vogelverde" is probably Walther von der Vogelweide.
