–Asgeir Brekke, assistant professor of physics at the University of Tromso, Norway, describing the aurora borealis
“You can’t go back home to your family, back home to your childhood . . . back home to a young man’s dreams of glory and of fame . . . back home to places in the country, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time—back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.”
–Thomas Wolfe, You Can’t Go Home Again
Description:
“The constantly changing forms and patterns of the masses of light and the flow of colors bewilder the eye, forcing it to change focus again and again, encouraging the mind to wander, stimulating the imagination, and multiplying thought. For generations, the northern lights have been a source of wonder, mystery and inspiration.”–Asgeir Brekke, assistant professor of physics at the University of Tromso, Norway, describing the aurora borealis
