The Luther Celebration in Germany: Luther's room in the Wartburg, at Eisenach, 1883. 'In the quiet security of the Castle of the Wartburg (his Pathmos as he afterwards called it) perched high above the town of Eisenach, where he had been saved from starvation as a youth, [German priest, theologian and author Martin Luther (1483-1546)], dwelt in a little cell-like room of the Ritter-haus; and here he translated the New Testament into German. The room is still preserved in the condition in which he is said to have left it; only that the portraits of his mother and father and himself, by his friend Lucas Cranach, now decorate the rough-cast walls which still shew the stain where Luther is said to have cast his ink-pot at the devil. He remained in this seclusion about ten months'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
