HENRIK IBSEN.
Uvr the Scandinavian DrtmntUt
In&preaaed an Observer.
William Archer tells how Henrik Ib
sen Impressed him when he met the
Scandinavian dramatist In Rome In
1881: "In glided an undersized man
with very broad shoulders and a large
leonine head, wearing a long black
frock coat with very broad lapels, on
one of which a knot of red ribbon was
conspicuous. I knew him at once, but
was a little taken aback by his low
stature. Ills natural height was even
somewhat diminished by a habit of
bending forward slightly from the
waist, begotten, no doubt, of short
sightedness and the need to peer Into
things.
"He moved very slowly and noise
lessly, with his hands behind his back
an unobtrusive personality. But
there was nothing insignificant about
the high nnd massive forehead, crown
ed with a mane of (then) iron gray
hair, tho small and pale but piercing
eyes behind the gold rimmed specta
cles, or the thin lipped mouth, depress
ed at the corners Into a curve Indlca-
I tlvo of Iron will and set between bushy
whiskers of tho same dark gray as the
hair.
I "The most cursory observer could
not but recognize power and character
In the head, yet ono would scarcely
have guessed It to bo the power of a
poet, tho character of a prophet. Ouo
would rather have supposed one's self
face to face with an eminent states
man or diplomatist."
