The Loneliness of the Poet. When I saw this, I knew he had me. I could love the building, I could appreciate both the genius and the subtlety, but could never grasp it all. Lewerentz.

8221; he asked, startling me out of my sadness. I was embarrassed—happy to see him alive, but very embarrassed. I tried to explain that I’d come looking for him and he assured me that he’d just come home for a break and had every intention of returning. He found me impatient. Just then his wife appeared in a state of semi-undress in the doorway of their room. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The Local - Swedish News in English.

27 October, 2006 Luleå, Sweden. In search of cloudberries, I stopped at kauppatori on my way home this afternoon. Just as I arrived, an exquisite parade of sailing ships passed through Eteläsatama. They came and went in just a few minutes without making the slightest sound. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The Local - Swedish News in English.

S u s u r r a t i o n: Till Sverige!

http://balticmurmuring.blogspot.com/2008/07/till-sverige.html

My missive wouldn’t be complete without mentioning something about economy, exchange rates and the pathetically weak dollar. Stockholm isn’t the most affordable city to begin with and at 6 SEK to the dollar it borders on ridiculous. I’ve done my best to be frugal. Here are some specifics:. Taxi from Central Station to Hostel (1.5 km) 140 SEK $ 23.33. One night in a 6-bed dorm 240 SEK $ 40.00. Glass of wine 46 SEK $ 7.60. Emmental cheese 350g 40 SEK $ 6.60. Small Barilla pasta sauce 23 SEK $ 3.80.

It occurred to me while running. In delicate pearls the mist lingers on the spider’s web. How sweetly a stair discovered in the forest guards its secret. An American who has discovered Europe’s splendours secretly dreams of his provenance and pretends he has at last come home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

The shortest month of the year nearly burst its seams. It began with preparations for an interview with Juhani Pallasmaa focused on Lewerentz that will be published later this year. The result exceeded my most optimistic expectations and now the task of transcribing over 2 ½ hours of audio awaits. Paper deadlines followed, pushed forward by my family’s arrival here in. A rather inauspicious, not to mention morbid and disturbing start to her vacation. We all piled into a train bound for. Crumbling courtya...

Getting from Luleå to. Was a little bumpy. The train only goes at night and was over two hours late leaving Luleå. By the time it finally pulled into the station most of us had been waiting outside in the cold for well over an hour. But the Swedes are patient people and everyone was bundled up and seemed to take the wait in stride. Is a beautiful little town of parks and squares modeled after. Every winter they make an enormous goat (13 meters tall) out of straw and place it in the center of town. In...
