goat-antelope creature, and likely also alluding to the hunter in Manfred. On page 61 of The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, Di Presso seems to refer (perhaps by accident) to Metzger as Manfred. Manfred's oft-quoted speech from Act II Scene 1 which begins "Think'st thou existence doth depend on time?" is quoted on page 351 of The Masters of Solitude by Marvin Kaye and Parke Godwin. "In Memory of My Feelings", the poem by Frank O'Hara, includes the line "Manfred climbs to my nape,/ speaks, but I do not hear him,/ I'm too blue." In Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, Byron is said to have written Manfred after meeting the magician Jonathan Strange and finding him most disagreeable. It is suggested that he wrote it because he was so disappointed with Strange that he created a magician more to his liking. The final scene of Daisy Miller by Henry James is set in the Colosseum of Rome. James mentions that, before entering the Colosseum, his protagonist Winterbourne loudly quotes Manfred's monologue on the Colosseum (Act III, Scene IV). Other references to Manfred In the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera Patience Manfred is referenced in Colonel Calverley's patter song "If you want a receipt for that popular mystery" (A Heavy Dragoon), listing one ingredient as "a little of Manfred but not very much of him". German gothic metal band The Vision Bleak extensively quote from Manfred in their song "A Curse of the Grandest Kind", on their 2010 album Set Sail to Mystery Big Finish's Dark Shadows references the tale in an audio production, Dress Me in Dark Dreams. Edith Collins seeks to re-read the poem after some lines are stuck in her head. Christopher Tin and Shoji Kameda (as "Stereo Alchemy") used the text of Manfred as the basis for the lyrics to Monster of the Sky on their album God of Love See also Robert Schumann's setting of Manfred Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony Manfred on the Jungfrau by Ford Madox Brown Manfred on the Jungfrau, by John Martin References External links Official Foundation Rudolf Noureev site for the ballet Manfred et l'esprit, oil on canvas by Durupt, Musée de la Vie romantique, Paris Closet drama Poetry by Lord Byron Plays by Lord Byron Works based on the Faust legend 1817 poems 1817 plays Gothic fiction Alps in fiction
