Nils Ferlin was a Swedish poet.

Ferlin had a minor career as an actor and debuted at the age of seventeen in Salomé by Oscar Wilde. He continued his career with a traveling theater company.

Although many of Ferlin's poems are melancholic, they are not without humor. Several were set to music and became popular songs such as En valsmelodi, an attack on the music industry. Ferlin sold over 300,000 volumes of his poetry during his lifetime. His lasting appeal is partly attributed to his vivid portrayal of central Stockholm before urban renewal and his association with the popular culture that flourished there then. ...more

Quotes by Nils Ferlin (?)

“Och andra skiljer för guld och ängar
Och skiljer ända till hundradel
Men skiljetecknet som heter pengar
Är alltid interpunkteringsfel
Och dessa blinda som tror sig stora
De blåser upp sig och drar ihop
Med andra blinda sin storhets fora
Och står på huvut i samma grop
Och skiljetecknen, de står vid graven
Och säger: "Här ligger stor mans ben"
Men döden skrattar och bryter staven
Snabbt över allt som var lögn och sken”
― Nils Ferlin
