Majestic


And soon I came to realize
That the days have grown short
And there is little food to eat
The wind swept by
And left snow at my feet

An old man is limping along
Struggling through arthritis pain
Looking and searching in a big trash can

We are the wanderers of the north
The catchers of seal, narrators of legend
The Greenland Inuit
Living in the majestic kingdom of Denmark



(Read Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg. Apparently, there is also a movie about it but I haven't watched it.)
