"Der leger et Troldtøj ved Nat for vor Dør, alt under de hundrede Navne, det beder saa underligt om Gehør, saa underligt vil det os favne. Tidt ligger Faren i Troldtøjets Navn - at døbe det om er Sagen: lad Elskov ude ved Nat med sit Savn, luk op for Venskab ved Dagen!"

The Danish poet and dramatist Holger Drachmann (1846–1908), was one of the most popular Danish poets of modern time though much of his work is now forgotten. His personal appearance often almost overshadowed his literary merits and in many ways he played the role of the “typical” bohemian poet with a turbulent private life. Drachmann was a central figure of the Danish Modern Break-Through in the late 19th century.
