THE DREAM IN US: NORWAY (Satis Shroff) ‘The Dream in Us‘ was the motto chosen by Norway, the Guest of Honour, at the Frankfurter Book Fair 2019. The motto comes from a poem penned by the Norwegian poet Olav H. Hauge (1908-1994) which bears the title ‘That is the Dream.’ DET ER DEN DRAUMEN Det er den draumen me ber pa at noko verdunderleg skal skje, at det ma skje – at tidi skal opna seg at hjarte skal opna seg at dorer skal opna seg at berget skal opna seg at kjeldor skal springa – at draumen skal opna seg, at me ei morgonstund skal glida inn pa ein vag me ikkje har visst um * * * THAT IS THE DREAM that is the Dream that is the dream we carry, that something wonderful occurs, has to happen – that the time opens that the heart opens that the door opens that the mountain opens that sources spring open that we float in a morning hour in a bay that we didn’t know.
