P. 94. _In the remotest east there grows a plant._ The germ of the
famous tea-simile is due to Fru Collett’s romance, “The Official’s
Daughters” (_cf._ Introduction, p. ix.). But she exploits the idea
only under a single and obvious aspect, viz., the comparison of the
tender bloom of love with the precious firstling blade which brews
the quintessential tea for the Chinese emperor’s table; what the
world calls love being, like what it calls tea, a coarse and
flavourless aftercrop. Ibsen has, it will be seen, given a number of
ingenious developments to the analogy. I know Fru Collett’s work
only through the accounts of it given by Brandes and Jæger.
P. 135. _Another Burns._ In the original: “Dölen” (“The Dalesman”),
that is A. O. Vinje, Ibsen’s friend and literary comrade, editor of
the journal so-called and hence known familiarly by its name. See
the Introduction.
P. 160. _Like Old Montanus._ The hero of Holberg’s comedy _Erasmus
Montanus_, who returns from foreign travel to his native parish with
the discovery that the world is not flat. Public indignation is
aroused, and Montanus finds it expedient to announce that his eyes
had deceived him, that “the world _is_ flat, gentlemen.”
