  1. Horror! Devastation! What has become of the Melancholy Danes? Where is Hamlet, where is Kierkegaard?

    If it’s come to this, I can only say we’re all doomed. Doomed.

  2. I’m a quarter Dane myself, you know. I know the suffering inherent in being a Dane–the depression, the hopelessness. And I think this is good.

  3. There is nothing like a Dane!

    Nothing in the world!

    Mixed in with my Norwegian half is a bit of Dane which comes from the part of what’s now southern Sweden which was once ruled by Denmark, so what that really makes me, I don’t know. Moderately immunized to Kierkegaard, perhaps. I took a course on him in college & can’t say I was terribly captivated.

  4. That region is known as Skåne, and its loss remains a devastating memory to all of us Danes, along with the equally tragic loss of Schleswig-Holstein to Germany.

    More reason to be depressed.

  5. I knew this post would be a hit. Michael, thank you VERY MUCH for the earworm. That’s a twisted song, you’re singing. Ha, hah.
