The ballad tells of the extermination by the king of the "little people" (dwarfish folk), who previously inhabited these lands - Stevenson also calls them "Picts". The last two representatives of this people, father and son, were taken to the king to discover the secret of making a sweet intoxicating drink from, and they are threatened with torture and death at the stake. The old father agrees to give the secret. However, he is ashamed to do this in front of his son. Therefore, he asks first to drown the young man in the sea. When the king agrees and the young man is thrown into the waves, the old man says that he is not afraid of the fire, but he doubted his son’s stamina, but he still won’t give out secrets, and she will die with him.

The bottom line is that the father and son prepared this honey, but no one else knew the recipe. When they came to them, led to a cliff and began to demand that they reveal their secret, the father said, they say, if you throw off my son, then I will reveal the secret to you. The son was thrown off, after which the father said that he simply did not believe in the resilience of youth, and now the secret would die with him.

HEATHER HONEY

(Russian translation - Vereskovy trunk1)

From heather honey

Pikti2 was cooked a long time ago

Drink, honey is sweeter,

Stronger than wine.

1 Heather - an evergreen low bush with very small and numerous leaves and lilac-pink flowers; drink - here: drink.

2 Picti are the oldest known peoples who inhabited Scotland (the first mention of them dates back to 297 AD).

Cooked and drank

That magical drink

And in the dark dungeons

The fates rejoiced.

And here is the owner of the Scottish -

His enemies were afraid! -

Went to the Pictiv Arms,

To destroy them to their feet.

He drove them like deer,

Over the heather hills

Rushed over the bodies from above,

He sowed both death and horror.

And summer has come again

Heather blushed again

And brew a honey drink

Nobody else could.

In the graves, like children's,

On every red mountain

lay under the red

Sleep forever brovari1.

rode the king of scots

By heather land;

Jinchali stubbornly bees,

Cranes chirped.

And the official was gloomy,

He thought to himself:

"Lord of the heather land -

Why don't I drink from heather? »

Suddenly vasal2 royal

Stumbled upon a strange storage:

1 Brovar is a beer maker.

2 Vassal - in medieval Europe, a feudal lord who received land plots and patronage from a powerful feudal lord, for which he performed a number of duties for him.

In a crevice between stones

I found two brovars.

They pulled out the poor picts

Instantly into the white world -

Old father and son

Boy of adolescence.

The king looked at the prisoners,

sitting in the saddle;

Silently looked at him

Those brewers are small.

The king ordered them to be put

On the cliff and said; -

Old, you honor your son and yourself,

Only reveal the secret of the drink.

Looked up and down

Old father and son:

Around - red heather,

The Scottish king heard:

Only two words, lord,

Let me tell you:

Old age appreciates life.

To live I will do anything

And I will reveal the secret of the drink, -

So he told the king.

Like a sparrow chirping

It was a call:

I would reveal a secret to you

I'm only afraid of my son.

Death doesn't scare him.

He does not value life.

I dare not sell the honor,

How the son looks into the eyes.

Tie him copper, I'm in control,

And throw into seething nurti1,

And I will reveal the secret

That he swore to protect the age.

And the guy was twisted tightly,

And a strong warrior shook

Small, like a child's body,

And sent to Buruni2.

The poor man's last cry

Swallowed by the evil waves.

And the father stood on the cliff -

The last pict on earth.

Vladar, I spoke the truth:

I expected trouble from my son,

I did not believe in the courage of the guy,

Who didn't have a beard yet.

Torture doesn't scare me.

Death doesn't scare me

And heather drink

Mystery dies with me!

Translation Yes. Krizhevich

A comment

Robert Louis Stevenson was always worried about the fate of his homeland - little Scotland, whose people composed numerous songs and legends about their heroic past. One of these ancient legends became the basis of the ballad "Heather Honey", which tells about the legendary people - Pictiv.

The Picts bravely fought against the invaders, sometimes they won, sometimes they lost great battles, they lost vast territories, but again and again they defended their native land. In the ninth century The Picts were finally conquered by the Scots (Scots), they mixed with representatives of other nationalities, lost their own language and ceased to exist as a separate people.

1 The team is the same as a whirlpool.

2 Breakers - bulk foamy waves.

Chronicles and legends portray the Picts as extremely brave and courageous warriors. The conquerors, amazed by their courage, never unraveled the mystery of why people of short stature have such a sense of disobedience and courage.

Stevenson used the legendary notion of pictiv and built the plot of his ballad around another secret of the pictiv - a method known only to them for making heather honey. This technique is very typical for folklore works, when the hero must reveal the secret and release the magical power. In Stevenson's ballad, the character traits of courageous picts, glorified by the poet, act as such magical power.

Ukrainian translation of the ballad, which was made by the poet Yes. Krizhevich, is somewhat different from the original. It is not called Heather Honey, but Heather Drink. The word "drink", used by the translator to designate a magical drink, has a common root with another word - "poison". Such a phrase in the title should lead the reader to the idea that the secret of making the drink "poisoned" the victory of the Scottish king, brought it to naught, because the moral victory was on the side of the last Pict.

The work tells about a small people, called the writer of the Picts, preparing a sweet drink from the heather that blooms in their region.

One day, by order of the Scottish king, the population of the Picts is completely exterminated and only an elderly man, who looks like a hunchbacked dwarf, with a fifteen-year-old son, remains alive.

Heather time comes, and the king expresses a desire to enjoy the famous drink of the Pict people. However, no one knows the recipe for cooking food, and the father and son carefully guard the secret of his mead preparation.

The king orders to learn the secret of making a drink from the remaining representatives of the meadeurs, threatening them with torture on a burning fire. The old man agrees to reveal the secret, but suggests that the tormentors first throw their own son into the sea. The king agrees, but after the death of the young man, the proud old man declares to his enemies that the secret of the drink will die with him, and he sacrificed the child, because he was not sure of the courage of his son.

The writer reveals in the ballad the eternal theme of love for the motherland, patriotism and self-sacrifice of an ordinary person for the sake of the fatherland.
