Analysis of De dandse med Castagnetter
Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)
De dandse med Castagnetter,
det er den hele Musik;
De see hinanden i Øiet,
det er en berusende Drik.
De hvirvle sig som Mænader,
alt i den strengeste Takt;
O hvilken uendelig Skjønhed
er dog i et Menneske lagt!
En Nellike og en Granatblomst!
i Dandsen de leve og groe.
I, som bleve Konstens Udkaarne,
beseir i Dandsen de To.
