Words by Einar son of Eidur

A young poetic and dreamy citygirl was conversing with a farmer from the countryside on a warm summernight. "You must know all the different faces of nature," says the young girl "Haven't you seen the sun set in such flames that it appeared as the entire universe had caught fire? Haven't you witnessed the moon resemble a terrified fugitive escaping the dark and gloomy clouds at Aying speed? And haven't you ever seen the fog sneak down the mountainside as thousands of phantoms waving their arms?"

At this point the farmer interrupted the girl, nodded and said: "Yes, I remember it vaguely, but my dear girl it has been a while since I gave up drinking."
