Derman -- Though I'd been to Oslo and Reykjavik and Bergen before, I'd never been to Sweden. And though I feel like a southerner, someone who likes hot summer climes, there's nothing to beat long summer nights, where, while the western sky still has the afterglow of dusk, the eastern sky is already beginning to lighten. It's astonishing. I wonder if winter is as bad as summer is good.

Это он на Пушкина намекает.

For soon one dawn succeeds another
With barely half-an-hour of night.
-- Waclaw Lednicki (http://web.ku.edu/~russcult/culture/handouts/bronze_horseman.html)

But our Northern summer
is a caricature of Southern winters;
it will glance by and vanish: this is known,
though to admit it we don't wish
-- Vladimir Nabokov
