You point out very well the open texture of the tale and different possible interpretations. My own question is, how did the speaker get help for his \u0026quot;crushed hip and thrice-broken bone\u0026quot; so that he survived to tell the tale? If the two of them lived alone and she rode to get help, then it\u0026#39;s surprising that he survived. If the context was a thriving homestead with servants, etc., who found and saved him, then her flight must be interpreted as flight, and his belief in her love was delusion, making the ending heartbreak of a different kind than simple loss of a loved one. I\u0026#39;m sure we\u0026#39;re overthinking this song, but what\u0026#39;s the harm? It\u0026#39;s not like analyzing a joke, where the joke dies on the table. I still love the song, whatever it means. I\u0026#39;ve never heard a cover that I recall, and I imagine none would satisfy like this original. Thanks for sharing your meditation on the song. Best always."},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/9146340\/112847647447197019\/comments\/default\/6411299205623822506"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/9146340\/112847647447197019\/comments\/default\/6411299205623822506"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/eclecticmeanderings.blogspot.com\/2005\/10\/man-there-is-always-alone.html?showComment=1367678902630#c6411299205623822506","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Two Hands Clapping"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/17661618803660611812"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"21","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_eGC3LvcaASE\/Se48fr4YkDI\/AAAAAAAAAAM\/DB9i5w7f-WE\/S220\/Yale+campus.bmp"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http:\/\/eclecticmeanderings.blogspot.com\/2005\/10\/man-there-is-always-alone.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146340.post-112847647447197019","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9146340/posts/default/112847647447197019","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-1615125004"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"9:48 AM, May 04, 2013"}]},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146340.post-7616954141674701068"},"published":{"$t":"2012-09-10T07:03:56.932-05:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2012-09-10T07:03:56.932-05:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"I dont know about this.

Going to east the Great Moor recedes to the north and the ridge slants south.  It appears there were areas of marsh and solid ground between them.  There must have been a good road along the base of the ridge.  If there was a usable road further north it would have had the advantage of a shorter marching distance.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen I the season is over I may redraw the map.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESome links\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.google.com\/imgres?imgurl=http:\/\/varusforschung.geschichte-multimedial.net\/graphics\/karte4big.jpg\u0026amp;imgrefurl=http:\/\/varusforschung.geschichte-multimedial.net\/pages\/karten.html\u0026amp;usg=__ECKMdPs1N7zKrF4TLrHQm4kQhZg=\u0026amp;h=719\u0026amp;w=966\u0026amp;sz=198\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;start=40\u0026amp;zoom=1\u0026amp;tbnid=hq9DqK3DSsAjBM:\u0026amp;tbnh=110\u0026amp;tbnw=148\u0026amp;ei=fLbeTuzSBYnCqQGR04yjCQ\u0026amp;prev=\/search%3Fq%3Dkalkriese%2Bvarus%2Bkarte%26start%3D21%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch\u0026amp;itbs=1\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.google.com\/imgres?imgurl=http:\/\/varusforschung.geschichte-multimedial.net\/graphics\/karte4big.jpg\u0026amp;imgrefurl=http:\/\/varusforschung.geschichte-multimedial.net\/pages\/karten.html\u0026amp;usg=__ECKMdPs1N7zKrF4TLrHQm4kQhZg=\u0026amp;h=719\u0026amp;w=966\u0026amp;sz=198\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;start=40\u0026amp;zoom=1\u0026amp;tbnid=hq9DqK3DSsAjBM:\u0026amp;tbnh=110\u0026amp;tbnw=148\u0026amp;ei=fLbeTuzSBYnCqQGR04yjCQ\u0026amp;prev=\/search%3Fq%3Dkalkriese%2Bvarus%2Bkarte%26start%3D21%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch\u0026amp;itbs=1\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.korbsammler.de\/Bilder\/varusschlacht-kalkriese\/geografische-lage-kalkriese.jpg\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/eclecticmeanderings.blogspot.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003EHank’s Eclectic Meanderings\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/9146340\/3303222915071323889\/comments\/default\/5635089431755779466"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/9146340\/3303222915071323889\/comments\/default\/5635089431755779466"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/eclecticmeanderings.blogspot.com\/2009\/09\/two-thousand-years-ago-this-month-roman.html?showComment=1323219073827#c5635089431755779466","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"hank_F_M"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/09851295792702162861"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"31","src":"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/1018\/504\/400\/E2.jpg"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http:\/\/eclecticmeanderings.blogspot.com\/2009\/09\/two-thousand-years-ago-this-month-roman.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146340.post-3303222915071323889","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9146340/posts/default/3303222915071323889","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-1324800907"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"6:51 PM, December 06, 2011"}]},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146340.post-8166416739182841736"},"published":{"$t":"2011-11-29T23:07:21.988-06:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2011-11-29T23:07:21.988-06:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"DeltaV\n\nThanks for commenting.\n\nYou are quite poss..."},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"DeltaV\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThanks for commenting.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EYou are quite possibly right.

The blue line is the Mittelland-Kanal, which was constructed in the early 1900\u0026#39;s.  Prior to that time, the area was mostly bogs. The building of the canal also had the effect of lowering the water table, and so there are farms there now.  The modern highways (B218 and B65) parallel the ridgeline, and they may follow the path of much older roads that skirted the bogs at the base of the ridge.
