Katrineholm Station
Via Facebook I received an anguished call for help from my colleague Gissur Erlingsson who seems to have a troubled relationship with railways in general and the Gnesta – Norrköping line in particular.
This time he was stuck in Katrineholm. And we all know what that means.
Anyway, two of the greatest Danish poets have been stuck at railway stations at various times with the foreseeable consequences.
So, for Scandinavian-readers: Here are two of the high points in early 20th Century Danish poetry:
Sophus Claussen “Rejseminder” (Skanderborg Station)
Johannes V. Jensen “Paa Memphis Station”
I suspect that there are no sphinxes in Katrineholm either.

The Sphinx of Katrineholm
by Katrineholmpartiet
No, THERE IS a “Sphinx” in Katrineholm,
Who came from the West,
But for Dane bound pseudo-intellectuals,
His presence (and purpose) is a riddle at best!
