No river, not even the Danube, runs so deep in the German imagination, is freighted with more cultural historical or musical associations, than the Rhine. It is the Rhine that flows peacefully in the evening sunshine as Heine’s Lorei combs her golden locks and lures sailors to destruction. It is on the Rhine that Wagner’s Siegfried embarks on the epic journey. And in the 1840s, as a belligerent France sbre-rattles and talks once again of invading German territory

“They are not going to take it,
The free, the German Rhine.” ~Page 59
