"Telemark in Norway is the soft, the docile, the changing, the home of your dreams, the home of the wood nymph; the home of folk songs, folk music, home to the most beautiful dialects in the country, the only language for a living culture of written tradition, language and culture through the long and difficult times".
(Vetle Vislie)
