neighbour in the chapel, across there in the other
side-aisle of the church? There, below a glass
lid, lies a dress shot through, and on the floor
stands a pair of long, thick boots – they
belonged to the hero-King, the wanderer,
Charles XII., whose realm is now this narrow
coffin.
How sacred it is here under this vaulted roof!
The mightiest men of centuries are gathered
together here, perishable as these moth-eaten
flags – mute and yet so eloquent. And without
there is life and activity: the world goes on in
its old course; generations change in the old
houses; the houses change – yet Stockholm is
always the heart of Sweden, Birger’s city, whose
features are continually renewed, continually
beautified.
