He also insisted that his mother should propose for him, for he could not bring himself to do it. The compromise was accepted and Louisa was called in to receive Frithiof's embrace and timid kiss. They both wept for reasons which neither of them understood. They felt ashamed of themselves for the rest of the day.

"Farewell, ye mountains, By glory crowned Ye sacred fountains Of Gods renowned; Ye woods and highlands, Where heroes dwell; Ye seas and islands, Farewell! Farewell!" Frithiof's Saga.
That quiet, gentle woman with those faithful eyes is the daughter of Frithiof's bard; we see noble men and women, ladies of the high nobility, with sounding and significant family names with silver and lilies, stars and swords. Hark! listen to that lively song.
He scorned alike the metaphysical subtleties of French philosophy and the moonshine heroics of German romanticism. But he was at one with Geijer and Ling in the desire to make Scandinavian heroes and myths the subjects of poetry. The result of the movement was Frithiof's Saga, by Tegnér, Geiger's Viking, and Ling's heavy epics of Walhalla warriors.
And Frithiof's eyes filled with tears as he listened to his father's praises. In spite of Frithiof's wealth, Helgi and Halfdan looked with disdain upon the son of their father's friend; and when Frithiof asked to have Ingebjorg for his wife, Helgi scornfully answered, "My sister shall not wed the son of a thane. If you like to be our serf, we will make room for you among our servants."
Louisa is a capable girl, domesticated and methodical, she will make your home as happy as you could wish." Frithiof's only way of escape was to beg his mother for time to consider the matter. Meanwhile all the ladies of the household had recovered their health, so that the doctor was no longer required. Still he called one day, but he was treated like a burglar who had come to spy out the land.

From the highest to the lowest throughout the land The poet had created a bond of union. In every home, within every school door, His verses were read and conned and loved, And Sweden's youth felt its cheek glow At Frithiof's courage and manly mood. While Ingeborg's love to the maiden's dream Gave life and thoughts to her weaving and sewing.
Frithiof's heart was full of deep sorrow, and he turned his steps towards the temple of Baldur, hoping that at the altar of the god he might meet with consolation. In the temple he found King Helgi, and the sorrow that was weighing down Frithiof's heart gave place to hatred and revenge. Caring nothing for the sacred place, he rushed madly forward.
The point of Vangnæs, a short distance to the westward, is the "Framnæs" of Frithiof's Saga, and I therefore looked towards it with some interest, for the sake of that hero and his northern lily, Ingeborg. There are many bauta-stones still standing on the shore, but one who is familiar with Tegner's poem must not expect to find his descriptions verified, either in scenery or tradition.
