"Oberon Trod Forth"

A Midsummer Tempest, vi.

"Oberon trod forth." (p. 39)

"'Aye. And - well done, Beoric,' said King Oberon."
-Poul Anderson, "Interloper" IN Anderson, Fantasy (New York, 1981), pp. 178-210.

Two Andersonian Oberons: a fantasy version on a parallel Earth and a science fictional version secretly reigning on our Earth.

We have seen Oberon/Auberon in:

performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream;
a novel and a short story by Poul Anderson;
Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.

I have seen Oberon, Puck, Pan and the Grail in Williamson Park, Lancaster. Ashton Memorial in the Park has been Toad Hall, Nottingham Castle, Looking Glass House, Camelot, Heaven and part of Prospero's island:

    If we shadows have offended,

 Think but this, and all is mended—

 That you have but slumbered here

 While these visions did appear.

 And this weak and idle theme,

 No more yielding but a dream,

 Gentles, do not reprehend.

 If you pardon, we will mend.

 And, as I am an honest Puck,

 If we have unearnèd luck

 Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue,

 We will make amends ere long.

 Else the Puck a liar call.

 So good night unto you all.

    Give me your hands if we be friends,

 And Robin shall restore amends.
