Sf fan, filker, nerdy about history and classifications. Hosts the biweekly Eurofilks on Thursdays. Generally very conservative in who I follow.

* Also, she was queer and poly, for a long time maintained in a (troublesome) triad with Sophie Elkan and Valborg Olander.

Some comments:
* Selma Lagerlöf received the Nobel prize in 1909, and only joined the Swedish Academy in 1914.
* A lot of the Lagerlöf's literary innovativeness is probably not readily visible now or in translation. But she was the first major Swedish author who used a fully modern Swedish grammar.

ty jag är ganska mager om bena
tillika om armar och hals
Jag har sålt mina visor på nöjets estrader
och gud må förlåta mig somliga rader
ty jag är ganska mager om bena
tillika om armar och hals

Dagen är släckt, mörkret har väckt
slanor och kattor och slinkor
fyllda av skarn, slöddern och flarn
sova polishus och finkor
Barnet det skåda i drömmarnas ljus
hur en ängel med lyktor går runt våra hus
och ensam i kvällen den sena
jag slåss med en smäktande vals

If I'm reading the Swedish copyright law correctly, such a clause would imply that the work could be distributed without naming the original creator. It would also be illegal under Swedish law, except in some limited use of the work.

Meatus. Min hjärna har fått för mig att det stavas miatus.

The members of KAJ are Fennoswedes from Ostrobothnia. So their native language is Swedish. There are some complex identity issues going on here as I understand it, but their national identity is without a doubt Finnish.

Likely to have better sound than Eurovision too (at least as everyone remembers to turn on original sound)!
