For humanity will believe that the di-
vine reawakens in men who are di-
vine through genius, force, or good
ness. Bjornson possessed those three
qualities of human nature. He was a
creator, a fighter, singer, and a
victor"
Such is the beautiful tribute that
Ellen Key pays to Bjornson at the
conclusion Of a lifelong friendship.
She had met the Norwegian writer
before she had herself become a cele-
brated author. in fact, before single
work of hers had been published.
Bjornson was Immediately struck by
her poetic nature and extraordinary
intellectual gifts, and their intimacy
helped Ellen Key to acquaint herself
with Norway and understand it's as
pirations for Independence. Her words
on Bjornson, written soon after his
death, exceed in enthusiasm even her
estimate of Ibsen. They are chiefly
an echo of conversations she had with
him. In writing Of Ibsen she speaks
of the greatness of his works. In
writing of Bjornson she speaks mostly
of the greatness of the man.-Current

"The insects are sent in their hives
