On dwelling around the master poem «Terje Vigen» by Henrik Ibsen; What was really Terjes experiences when trying to get grain and food for his wife and his child?
You know, with the Napoleonic Wars, we got famine and dearth and poverty in Norway, and it was in the period 1809 to 1814. And Terje Vigen can be a real or an imagined person that has lived or not lived, and when Terje and his family struggled for food and the life in Norway, Terje had to get grain and food, and he took the boat from Humborsund and Lyngør as Henrik Ibsen wrote about, and had on his way the sunshine, and the good weather there. When the wind cooled, it became a little less stiff, Terje Vigen row for children and live, across the sea in an open boat!
The poem”Terje Vigen” is a story about a person living in the Napoleonic Wars, and he was hungry and thirsty, and he had to make a way to get enough food to live, and Terje Vigen had white hair after a while, and he dies well into his sixties, and Terje Vigen has probably not existed, but if he has, he came from Fjære nearby Grimstad, and he had his wife, and his daughter Anna, who Henrik Ibsen has written about. But the countries do the wars during the Napoleonic Wars, which were they? Well, it was France on the one side, and Germany, Great Britain and Russia on the other side, and Denmark and Norway were on the side of France since 1807. And Terje Vigen is an epic poem from Henrik Ibsen being accessible and available from 1861. And you know, we are as we are when we are here, and the literature is therefore to make understanding, and the poem Terje Vigen is a poem with 43 verses.
So, the plan to Terje was to take his boat at home, and doing rowing in a rowing boat to get food for the family, and they struggled at his home, and Terje wanted to get food from Denmark, and to make a trip in his rowing boat from the Southern Part of Norway over to Denmark, buying or obtaining the food, and getting it back to the home where he came from with his wife and his daughter Anna. But he never reached these desires, and he was picked up by a patrolling English warship, when trying to come from Denmark to Norway, and he was in the hands of the Englishmen for several years. And when he came back to Norway, both his wife and his child were dead, and this is about the story of the tragic end of life, when we do not get any food, and we are struggling in the life to the end of the days.
So, Henrik Ibsen, he really became great in Norway and in other countries for what he wrote about, but as Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson he was nominated to the Nobel Prize, but he did not get is because of his depressed ways of being, and you know, the poem “Terje Vigen” is also experiences in the life in negative ways, but we are here to be optimistic and positively framed, and the meaning and the opinions of the markets are just related to what we are doing them to, and anything is possible with making positive and good enough human minds about being as we are when we are here.
So Terje Vigen was taken by an English corvette, and he could not come away from this boat or ship, so the intentions and the wishes to Terje Vigen were good, and we are finding a big stone from his life or from Henrik Ibsen, standing outside the church to Fjære nearby Grimstad, and this is what the life really was about, and it was a pain and a shame to live earlier, but they had to managed it in the life, and people were both visible and invisible of their ways to be. As we always are.
The poem Terje Vigen of Henrik Ibsen is a dramatic poem happening when Norway was in war during the Napoleonic Wars. And Terje Vigen is a poem about the wars for Norway in the period 1809-1814, and is is a story about courage and revenge, forgiveness and reconciliation, and we are here to love and appreciate everyone we are meeting, and there are many ladies to love, and they are also in the working life, and we should also do encouragements and being constructive and good in the mind. The poem should be inspired by sailors on the Sørland coast that rowed or sailed across Skagerak to Jutland to get food to their families in the years 1809-1814.
