Excerpt from A Glorious Fortune The most untidy, most uncared for clearing along this road was one in the wildest and most solitary part of it, high up among the slopes of the hills. It seemed as if the settler had begun with Immense energy, stubbing up brushwood, sowing timothy grass, hewing the fir trunks, and laying down og-fences, as if he intended to live a thousand years there, but had then lost heart, and so suffered the weeds to grow, stubbed up no more brush wood, and left his fences unfinished.
