"Everything in Funen is different from the rest of the world and whoever takes the trouble to listen will know. The bees hum in a way of their own with a special Funen accent, and when the horse whinnies and the red cows low, why, anybody can hear that it's quite different from anywhere else... The bells ring and the cocks crow in Funen dialect and a joyous symphony issues from all the birds' nests every time the mother feeds her young. The stillness sings the same tune, too, and even the trees dream and talk in their sleep with a Funen lilt." (CN, in "Living Music") |
