More From Knut Hamsun
- "No, what I should really like to do right now, in the full blaze of lights, before this illustrious assembly, is to shower every one of you with gifts, with flowers, with offerings of poetry – to be young once more, to ride on the crest of the wave."
- "I have had much to learn from Sweden’s poetry and, more especially, from her lyrics of the last generation."
- "However, I must not indulge in homespun wisdom here before so distinguished an assembly, especially as I am to be followed by a representative of science."
