The Redbreast

TRANSLATED
FROM THE NORWEGIAN
BY

Don Bartlett

Epigraph
But little by little he gained courage, flew close to him, and drew with his little bill a thorn that had become embedded in the brow of the Crucified One. And as he did this there fell on his breast a drop of blood from the face of the Crucified One – it spread quickly and floated out and coloured all the little fine breast feathers.
Then the Crucified One opened his lips and whispered to the bird: ‘Because of thy compassion, thou hast won all that thy kind have been striving after, ever since the world was created.’
Selma Lagerlöf, Robin Redbreast,
Christ Legends
