What else do you need? An attic room with a view to the south, a birch, a rose hedge, a strawberry field, a bending river, a rapid, a bridge, a river bank and the church tower glowing in the morning sun. |
The poem is Zacharias Topelius' (18181898) description of the view from his childhood home Kuddnäs just north of Nykarleby in Finland. That view and many others from the past you can experience on this site. Welcome! Fredrik Liljeström © 20022024 |
