“It is as natural to the Icelandic heart to turn to poetry in times of stress as for another to search his Bible.”
Laura Goodman Salverson, The viking heart

“If one has known poverty and suffering – not that genteel poverty of slender purse and shabby carpets – but the brutal poverty where the larder is oft-times empty, and where the frost lines the wall of one’s humble dwelling; then indeed it would seem that only love alone keeps the blood from congealing, then it is not so hard to understand the courage and endurance of the pioneer.”
Laura Goodman Salverson
