Dietrich And Paris Von: In this epic Dietrich plays an important part; but the poems devoted to the simple Dietrich legend are found only in late transcripts or early printed editions, probably little later than the date of their actual composition. They represent, however, older lays, and these again still older, of equal or even greater antiquity by two centuries or more than the Kassel fragment The language changed considerably in the course of these centuries, and the poems must have been entirely recast, rhyme being substituted for alliteration ; but the change in the legend itself is immaterial.
Salzburg is Italian baroque at its transplanted best. Three powerful prince-bishops, Leonhard, called the Turnip Bishop from his rustic origin, Wolf Dietrich and Paris von Lodron, imported this transalpine baroque, Santino Solari built the cathedral and other structures, while Fischer vot Erlach continued transforming the city into an Austrian Rome. In the hilltop fortress, you'll marvel at the splendid rooms of state built to the order; of the Turnip prelate. In painting, the Welz Gallery, on Haffnergasse, is a new one whose collections have attracted critical attention.
The Selective Shopper on the Prowl Paris is a shopper's heaven, especially if the shopper is on the distaff side. It is an expensive heaven, in these days, notably excepting perfumes, which are far cheaper in Paris than in America, but the cost doesn't seem to frighten tourists away. Paris est toujours Paris. |
