Literature
The Faroese priest Lucas Debes commented in his lifework Færoæ & Færoa Reserata:
Even travelled in Norway and on the Faroe Islands, this Magnus Heinesen`s death, his fellow countrymen were deeply in sorrow. The Faroese people say that he was a man who protected the Islands, his father came here and settled here, his brother and sister was born here, and they lived and died here, and thereafter his descendants and friends also live here. —Lucas Debes, Færoæ & Færoa ReserataRead more about this topic: Magnus Heinason
Famous quotes containing the word literature:
“First literature came to refer only to itself, the literary theory.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
