Scandinavia

Scandinavia is an area in Northern Europe, breaching into the Arctic Circle, that houses the countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Others sometimes include Finland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands to be in this area; this extended area is more correctly called the Nordic countries.
==Significance to Stevens==
In his poem "Two at Norfolk," Stevens says "In his time, this one had little to speak of, / The softest word went gurrituck in his skull. / For him the moon was always in Scandinavia / And his daughter was a foreign thing" (lines 5-8), referring to the grave of a man buried in Norfolk, Nebraska. This may mean that the man had romantic affairs in Scandinavia, but, given how Stevens seems to feel about the moon, it is probably referring to something not so romantic.
