Once upon a time there was a wicked sprite, indeed he was the most mischievous of all sprites. This sprite had created a mirror where all that was good and beautiful when it was reflected therein, to look poor and mean… One day the mirror shattered into million little pieces hardly so large as a grain of sand. And each piece has as much power as the original mirror. Kay catches one in his eye and in his heart and is turn cold as ice. <\/p>\nGerda goes to the end’s of the world to save Kay from the evil “spell” he is under & to recapture his love. Kay is blind to the world around him and sees nothing. His heart is frozen over, does not remember Gerda & feels nothing for no one. Gerda gives up everything in her life to save Kay. <\/p>\n
Her warm tears can cause roses to grow from soil that was once frozen over, but cannot find Kay to unfreeze him. Finally when she does find him and is able to free him from the spell, they return home to find that the years have past them by and she has lost much more then she thought. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
Fragment of what Kay has become under the spell – in love with the Snow Queen and no memory of Gerta. He is blinded to the world around him and sees nothing. His heart is frozen over, does not feel Gerda’s love & feels nothing for no one. Gerda gives up everything in her life to search for and save Kay. Her “warm tears” can cause roses to grow from soil that was once frozen over, but cannot find Kay to unfreeze him. <\/p>\n
Finally when she does find him and is able to warm his heart and break the spell, they return home to find that the years have past them by and she has lost much more then she thought. In recapturing Kay and his love, she has lost it all! <\/p>\n
“you are not worthy, you are not worthy”<\/em> <\/p>\nSo in the song, the writer sees herself as Gerda – in love with the idea of Love and has given everything up for this ideal. Her realization that giving up everything, even her ‘self’ for him – is what she is questioning. Now in her mind is he “worthy” of her love? The story leaves you wondering – what the future holds for them, we do not know. Is he ever going to be capable of loving her as profoundly as she does him? <\/p>\n
Will he ever be free from the ‘spell’ he is under….<\/p>\n
Her pain & disappointment is strong & I’m feeling it all! This struck a chord with me. I felt as if she was speaking to me. This seems to be a re-occurring theme for me. It is what the old man in my “Bella Mercedes”<\/a> story and in my “Foolish Old Man”<\/a> story are doing. Am I too wrapped up in what I’ve lost, that I let the world just pass me by?<\/p>\nI am so wrapped up in my business. Paying bills, making my business grow, making my life work; grieving my lost ones, that I do not see Mercy’s moments of hope (tears). Am I too frozen over for her warm tears – capable of thawing roses frozen over by a harsh winter – it may not be capable of reaching me. How am I going to be worthy??<\/p>\n
