Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harald First of the Vikings "The hollow oak our palace is, Our heritage - the Sea!" What a fascination lies in the very name "Viking!" And why? Well, personally I suppose, because all Englishmen are Vikings - by blood, by circumstance, by inclination; and we look to the sea-kings of old for the prototype we would fain picture ourselves as Sons of the Sea. Breathes there a boy, who has once either read a stirring tale of deep waters, listened to the details of a gallant rescue from shipwreck, or dwelt beside and tasted the breath of the Great Mother and Guardian of us all, and who has not felt his pulses bound and his very being yearn after the Sea? "Thalatta! Thalatta!" did Xenophon´s ten thousand cry in rapture when, after many perils and difficulties surmounted, they at last caught sight of its blue waters from afar. We read of Columbus discovering America: not he! Five hundred years before his time Vikings had seen it, coasted along its shores, landed thereon.
