s thenovices attack Kundry, calling her a sorceress, but she is defended by Gurnemanz, who saysshe is devoted to the King but is subject to strange spells, during which she vanishes forlong periods. Gurnemanz: True, when she often stayed afar from us Then broke misfortune ever in. I long have known her now; But Titurel knew her yet longer: When he yon castle consecrated, He found her sleeping in this wood, All stiff, rigid, like death. Thus I myself did find her lately, Just when the trouble came on us Which yonder miscreant beyond the mountain So shamefully did bring about. Gurnemanz: Yea, under a curse she may have been:Here nows her home,—Renewed become, That of her sins she may be shrivenFrom former life yet unforgiven,Seeking her shrift by such good actionsAs advantage all our knightly factions.Sure she does well in working thus:Serves herself and also us. Novice: Then it is not surely her fault So much distress hath come to us? 367 VICTROLA BOOK OF THE OPERA—WAGNERS PARSIFAL
