Knut Hamsun - And the great spirit of darkness spread...
And the great spirit of darkness spread a shroud over me... everything was silent-everything. But upon the heights soughed the everlasting song, the voice of the air, the distant, toneless humming which is never silent. (Knut Hamsun)

And the great spirit of darkness spread a shroud over me... everything was silent-everything. But upon the heights soughed the everlasting song, the voice of the air, the distant, toneless humming which is never silent.
