From Tristan and Isolda: Opera in Three Acts by Richard Wagner

male · inspirational · 53 sec

Why! in Cornwall; where cool and able, all that was brilliant, brave and noble, Tristan, my lord, lightly took. (TRISTAN: Am I in Cornwall?) No, no; in Kareol. (TRISTAN: How came I here?) Hey now! how you came? No horse hither you rode: a vessel bore you across. But on my shoulders down to the ship you had to ride: they are broad, they carried you to the shore. Now you are at home once more; your own the land, your native land; all loved things now are near you, unchanged the sun doth cheer you. The wounds from which you languish here all shall end their anguish. (He presses himself to TRISTAN'S breast.)
