in the woods, "NVotan enters the hut, in the
disguise of a Wanderer, and craves leave to
rest by Mime's fireside. Mime warns him
off rudely, but at last consents to a wager,
that the Wanderer shall answer three ques-
tions aright, or else forfeit his head. The
Wanderer Avins the wager easily, and then
claims the right to ask Mime three ques-
tions,under the same conditions as before.
Mime answers the first two questions, but
comes to grief on the third, which is
" Who shall forge the sword Nothung
anew ? " The Wanderer laughingly tells
him that he may keep his head for the
present, but that "Only he who has never
known fear shall forge Nothung anew,"
and goes his way out into the forest.
Mime now sees that his secrecy regarding
Nothung can be of no avail, but that he
must give the broken pieces to Siegfried,
for he is the one who has never known fear.

The story is founded on the legends that The next act is in the hall of the Wart-

Tannhiiuser kneels at the side of the bier,

was delayed, and Wagner's participation in
