The world wants no, poetry; it wants only verses that have not been sung before. And Norway wants no red-hot irons; only village smiths forge irons now, for the needs of the mob and the honor of the country. No one came; the stream of tourists went up and down Stordalen and left our little Reisa valley deserted.
If only the Northern Railway could have come to Reisa with Cook's and Bennett's tours then Stordalen in its turn would have lain deserted. Meanwhile, the cotters who are cultivating the soil will probably go on harvesting half the crop of the outlying fields for the rest of time.
I watched those two crossing rocky, mountainous ground, bare ground, with not a tree anywhere except a few stunted junipers; far away near the ridge murmured the little Reisa. Those two had put their possessions together, were walking together; at the next halt they would be man and wife, and take only one room because it was cheaper.

"He's a bit tight again, our good Paul," said the lawyer.
