The Nordic Muse: Celebrating Sigrid Undset
Sample Article The Medieval Imagination of Sigrid Undset — Amy Fahey
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star’d at the Pacific—and all his men
Look’d at each other with a wild surmise—
