To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. Blaze de Bury has justly remarked of her : "As a true daughter of the North, as sister of Jenny Lind, Christina Nilsson has comprehended the idea of the master. If her clear, vibrat- ing voice climbed to heaven, it was only that from those heights she might curse as a Titaness ; for the notes came from her mouth as serpents of fire, and she sneers like Hecate." Thus we behold a simple peasant girl render, with singu- lar power, this wonderful conception of a great master ; and soon we will s...ee her again the most poetic heroine of Shak- speare's genius. Is not this sufficient for the glory and the fame of one artist ? 16 But those who create — writers, poets, musicians, painters, and even actors — cannot stop, for constantly the soul cries out to them : " Forward ! forward !" and they go on. In 1865, Flotow, by birth German, by talent cosmopoli- tan, oflFered to the Thccitre Lyrique his popular opera of Martha ; and Nilsson appeared on the 18th of December in the principal role.
