The Leap Was Made
All Resolutions
The leap was made, the stone lay on the ground.
Description:
Siegfried carries King Gunther with him as he takes a leap, while Brunhilde raises her hand to admit her defeat. Above them, a dragon hovers with its mouth open, sticking out its tongue.
The caption reads in the original German:
Der Sprung der war ergangen,
Der Stein der war gelegen.
The caption in English was taken from Daniel Bussier Shumway’s translation of The Nibelungenlied published in Boston & New York by the Houghton Mifflin Company, 1909.
