Famous quotes containing the word norway:

    “A long time you have been making the trip
    From Havre to Hartford, Master Soleil,
    Bringing the lights of Norway and all that.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Write about winter in the summer. Describe Norway as Ibsen did, from a desk in Italy; describe Dublin as James Joyce did, from a desk in Paris. Willa Cather wrote her prairie novels in New York City; Mark Twain wrote Huckleberry Finn in Hartford, Connecticut. Recently, scholars learned that Walt Whitman rarely left his room.”
    —Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    “Such was the very armor he had on
    When he the ambitious Norway combated.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
