Siegfried Quotes

Nothung, Nothung, envious sword - what is the sword Nothung, but that unbreakable legacy which Siegfried, as the only son of the father, re-tempers in the fire of youth. What else, but the symbol of the primal-sword (primal-Phallus!)

These are no symbols of sexual-abstinence! (Theodor Reuss)
