“Faroe is the one place in the world where the tradition of the old Vikings still lives. The ancient dances, as executed by the knights and their ladies, have come down through the centuries unchanged. The same old songs, the endless ballads, are still sung as accompaniment to the dances; the same verses are chanted over and over, the same long rows weave in and out of the complicated figures.”PatreonFurther Reading/Principle Sources:Freuchen, Peter. 2002.
