Yes, we love with fond devotion,
This our land that looms.
Rugged, storm-scarred o'er the ocean,
With her thousand homes.
Love her, in our love recalling,
Those who gave us birth.
And old tales which night, in falling,
Brings as dreams to earth.
And old tales which night, in falling,
Brings as dreams, as dreams to earth.
This country Harald united
with his army of heroes,
this country Håkon protected
whilst Øyvind sung;
upon the country Olav painted
with his blood the cross,
from its heights Sverre spoke
up against Rome.
Farmers their axes sharpened
wherever an army advanced,
Tordenskiold along the coastline thundered
so that we could see it back home.
Even women stood up and fought
as if they were men;
others could only cry
but that soon would end!
Sure, we were not many
but we were enough,
when we were tested sometimes,
and it was at stake;
we would rather burn our land
than to declare defeat;
just remember what happened
down at Fredrikshald!
Hard times we have coped with,
were at last disowned;
but in the worst distress, blue-eyed
freedom was to us born.
It gave (us) father's strength to carry
famine and war,
it gave death itself its honour -
and it gave reconciliation.
The enemy threw away his weapon,
up the visor went,
we, in wonder, to him hastened,
because he was our brother.
Driven forth to a stand by shame
we went to the south;
now we three brothers stand united,
and shall stand like that!
Norseman in house and cabin,
thank your great God!
The country he wanted to protect,
although things looked dark.
All the fights fathers have fought,
and the mothers have wept,
the Lord has quietly moved
so we won our rights.
Yes, we love this country
as it rises forth,
rugged, weathered, above the sea,
with those thousand homes.
And as the fathers' struggle has raised
it from need to victory,
even we, when it is demanded,
for its peace will encamp (for defence)."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain

Late night saturday shave
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 Razor: Filarmonica DT 13 Honing Regimen: La Grise Coticule-CrOx Strop: 30/60 Neil Miller Linen/English bridle Soap: Ralph Lauren Safari After shave: D.R. Harris Sandalwood Results: Not quite as nice as usual today, maybe it was some subconscious tension after yesterdays events that made it? Or was it the lather? No idea, but I got a couple minor nicks, haven't had one those in months Overall I would say todays shave was mediocre +
My thought goes out to all those who got hurt and those who lost loved ones yesterday!
Need help or tutoring? Check out the .
