Help[Opinions] Re: The meaning of Viking . . .
in reply to a message by Chrisell
There is a Swedish verb "vika" but this verb means "fold" or "give in", I don't think it has anything to with vikings!
All vikings were not pirates and marauders (is this the right word?), some were simply tradesmen, travelling by sea to sell (furs, amber etc) and buy what they needed.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
