“Weak and insignificant, he yet bore within him the talisman to set her direst magic at naught. For he beguiled the heavy-hearted folk into laughing, and what can avail against folk who laugh-- who dare to laugh in the face of a winter like this one? . . . That winter it was he who saved people from insanity and the grave.” — O. E. Rölvaag
