Knut Hamsun’s Pan: Cosmic Connections from Within, Ljiljana Radenovic

Knut Hamsun’s Pan is famous for its love story and the extraordinary psychological portrayal of infatuation. Its very title and the magical North, where wilderness seeps into human settlements…

Scenes from a marriage 😄
Me to hubby: Look, I got us this Zink/vitamin C supplement. You should take it too. It's good for immunity.
Hubby: Nah I don't believe that it works but ok.
Me: But you should believe! If you did it would work.

By thy gift, O Lord, we are set on fire, and are borne aloft: we burn, and we are on the way. We climb the ascents that are in the heart. With thy fire, with thy good fire, we burn and go on, for we go up to the peace of Jerusalem.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime
Though this might take me a little time.
