Theodor Severin Kittelsen, Far, far away Soria Moria Palace shimmered like gold, 1900
In youth my wings were strong and tireless, but I did not know the mountains. In age I knew the mountains but my weary wings could not follow my vision – genius is wisdom and youth.
Da giovane le mie ali erano forti e instancabili ma non conoscevo le montagne. Da vecchio conoscevo le montagne, ma le mie ali stanche non potevano seguire la visione – genio è saggezza e gioventù.
