Interesting timing

[ffutures]

Last night I reached the start of the big fight scene in my Thor story, and decided to finish for the night just after Thor summoned Mjolnir.

About thirty seconds after I shut down the computer a huge thunderstorm started, and continued on well into the night, some of the brightest and most spectacular lightning I can remember in recent years.

And that was weird - as I typed the previous paragraph we had another sudden brief downpour. Obviously Thor is trying to tell me something. Here's hoping it's a good omen for the rest of the story!

Wagner was as much one for tinkering with the story as Hollywood is.

Here's the libretto:

And this is what Donner sings (in an rather stilted translation).

A sultry haze
hangs in the air;
its dull weight
oppresses me;
I will collect the pale clouds
into a lightning-storm;
that will sweep the sky clear.






Heda! Heda! Hedo!
Come to me, mists!
Vapours, to me!
Donner, your master,
summons you to his host.



As I swing my hammer,
hover here,
misty moisture,
hanging haze!
Donner, your master,
summons you to his host.
Heda! Heda! Hedo!
