“... men find islands appealing because they hold the promise of private kingdoms, imaginary holdfasts to escape the problems we cannot face at home. They are the lair of the Bond villain and the home of Prospero, sanctuaries where power can be wielded absolutely and the wide sea forms the ultimate moat.”
― The Land Of Maybe
― The Land Of Maybe
“Landt’s observations were meticulous and he is one of the few outsiders to record the unique way in which the Faroese measured time. They divided the day into what he called ökter – eight three-hour portions named after points of the compass. Twelve midnight was called ‘north’ while twelve noon was referred to as ‘south’. Six am became simply ‘east’ and six pm was ‘west’. Ninety-minute intervals were ‘half-eighths’, so that ten thirty pm would be north-north-west.”
