Soon I saw something that shimmered and glistened below us. Peer: Through the clouds we tumbled and out the other side. We were like birds in mid air - only without wings. Then through a screaming flock of gulls we sped!Īt last we ran out of ridge, but the stag kept on charging straight into the clouds. It was along this very ridge that we rushed, me clinging to the runaway reindeer’s back, he madly swerving to miss an eagle’s nest.
Far ahead, the peaks of the mountains sparkle. Look down to the left and you see icy glaciers pointing up like spears look down to the right and you see grey rocks and ravines wrapped in dark and gloom. A mountain path as narrow as a knife and as sharp as your tongue, dear mother. Peer: Have you ever been up on the ridge of Gredin? Half a mile it stretches. I clung to him with my legs like pincers, and he began to prance with giant leaps along the ridge of Gredin! But then the reindeer scrambled to his feet with a groan and a grunt. Gently I squeezed the trigger:Ī moment later I had jumped onto his back. I could see him clearly - a magnificent creature, sleek and fat. I reached some rocks, and rested the barrel of my gun on a stone. Slowly and carefully I crawled forward on my belly. I crouched and listened, and held my breath. The reindeer was scraping some snow with his foot, looking for moss to eat. Gone for weeks! Now you return, your clothes are all in rags, your hunting bag is empty, and you’ve lost your gun! What kind of hunting do you call that? Where’s this reindeer you say you were after? Peer’s Mother: It’s funny how you always vanish when there’s hard work to be done. Peer’s Mother: Your whole story is a pack of lies! Peer’s Mother: Peer, you’re lying as usual! He is followed by his mother, Aase, who is short and slight. Peer Gynt, a sturdy youth of twenty, walks along the bank. Jana: Picture mountains covered in woods.
