my word was lud"vig.".not Ludwig

Radioman34

I knew you would jump on that.  The names are identical and "W" is pronounced like a "V" in German, hence Ludwig.  However, if you wanted to argue that Beethoven was of Belgian descent and Ludvig is the Scandinavian equivalent of Ludwig , thereby rendering my submission as ineligible, then I suggest that a judicial inquiry be convened in order to resolve this most contentious matter.

Radioman..I am glad that you are so aware of my reaction to previous words given..Your remarks as usual, are clear and informative and I  certainly do not intend to go further with this...but thanks for the explanation :)

Johan Ludvig Heiberg
Norwegian poet/playwright, critic, and literary historian, he was rather well known in his day.

Here is an English translation of two of his poems.

Barcarole
Calm the night, unstirring,
And the air so clear
Pearls of dew uncurling,
Moonlight rays unfurling
’Cross the glassy mere.

Dulcet waves appeasing
Heart that yearns for rest,
Sighs and sorrows ceasing,
Breath of wind releasing
Mind so long oppressed.

Spring Poem

Now bowers offer shadow
and days need less rest,
in spring’s flowering meadow
each bird builds its nest.

Love’s god’s on the wing, though
he’s blind as can be;
flits there at the window,
is let in for free.

Using Radioman's definition, I hereby submit...

Johann Sebastian Bach (or Austrian Birth as opposed to Norwegian as previously entered.
