EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



The "Sun Singer" by Carl Milles was created as a memorial to the Swedish poet Esaias Tcgncr (17821846), a patriotic poet and writer influential in turning attention to the riches of the Norse sagas and the early literature of Scandinavia. The opening lines of Esaias Tegner's "Song to the Sun" illustrate the inspiration behind Carl Milles' great work: I will sing unto thee, O thou radiant sun, High aloft on thy throne In the deep, azure night, With the worlds left and right As thy vavals.
