Quotes 

• Berg-Ejvind : Kári has loved you. You are the only woman he has ever loved. But now Kári is no more. He has never been anything but a poor and unhappy man's dream. He has loved you for a long time, but he has never seen how beautiful you are until now - like blue mountain rising out of the mist!

  Halla : Close your eyes, Kári - and sleep for another moment. Kiss me!

  Berg-Ejvind : I want to sleep with my eyes open.

• Berg-Ejvind : You are ugly. I have never before seen how ugly you are. Your face is like a dead horse's head.

• Berg-Ejvind : Put your knife away - you need not be afraid of me. My name is Kári - I have come from the south to look for work. Do you know of any place where two strong arms would be of use?

  Arnes : Down there is Halla's farm. She is a woman with a big heart and an open hand. You're sure to find work there.

• Berg-Ejvind : I must try to get away from here at once. I have asked Arnes to help me. When the sky turns pink tomorrow I must be far up in the mountains.

• Berg-Ejvind : Are you willing to be my beloved wife and accompany me through all privations?

• Berg-Ejvind : I am going down to the stream to have a bath - I need to wash the sweat from my body.
