Excerpt from The Danes, Sketched by Themselves, Vol. 2 of 3: A Series of Popular Stories by the Best Danish Authors "Farther up on the land, the bare, desolate-look ing plain of sand disappears by degrees under high banks which are overgrown by a thick, low copse of brushwood, with some stunted oak and beech trees showing themselves as sad mementoes of an extensive wood, that formerly joined the forest of Erizo, and in the midst of which the village of Bannerup was situated. The village and the wood have both disappeared long since. Far in among the bushes people sometimes stumble upon pieces of broken stones with their mouldering cement of lime, the last fragments of the work and walls of ages gone by: in a few years the copse itself will have vanished, and the blackbird and the thrush, whose blithe carols on the summer evenings were heard even by those sailing near in the Belt, will seek other leafy homes."

Excerpt from The Danes, Sketched by Themselves, Vol. 3 of 3: Series of Popular Stories by the Best Danish Authors "From his infancy he had loved the sea, with its rest less waves; the dark blue ocean, with its white sails; and the idea of a sailor's pleasant life per vaded his very dreams. During the winter months he was satisfied to go to school, and learn to read and write; but in summer, when the soft wind stole with its balmy breath through the windows of the schoolroom, he used to fancy that it brought him greetings from the adjacent sea - that it came fraught with the odour of the sun-bleached deck, of the tarry rope, of the swelling sail - and then the schoolroom became too confined for him, and his little breast heaved with a longing which he could not repress."
