There is a very famous norwegian poem called “Jeg ser” – “I see” – by Sigbjørn Obstfelder, written in 1893. Kinds of sums up my feelings lately. Roughly translated it goes something like this -
I look at the white sky
I look at the blue-grey clouds
I look at the blood-red sun
So this is the world
So this is the home of the planets
A raindrop!
I look at the tall buildings
I look at thousend windows
I look at the distant church spears
So this is earth
So this is home of mankind
The grey-blue cloudes gather. The sun disappeared
I look at the well-dressed gents
I look at the smiling ladies
I look at the tepid horses.
How the greyblue cloudes became heavy
I look, i look…
I must have come to the wrong planet
It`s so strange here.
