    Note: Epigraph: "Christianity has to a certain degree moderated that brutal lust foirbattle among the ancient Germanic races, but could not altogether eradicate it. When that talisman, the Cross, is broken, the smouldering ferocity of those primeval warriors will once more blaze up. Then will again be heard the deadly clang of frantic Berserker wrath of which the Norse poets say and sing so much."
