Excerpt from The Heroic Legends of Denmark
T is safe to say that nowhere else has there been so intense and widely diffused an interest in popular antiquities as in Denmark. The very dearth, comparatively speaking, Of the grander architectural remains Of bygone ages seems to have concentrated attention on the less conspicuous and more lowly relics Of the grey Prehistoric Past and the gay Middle Ages. And, as it happens, Denmark is especially rich in just these things.
