YMMV / Terje Vigen

• Moment of Awesome: Possibly the crowning moment of Norwegian literature, when Terje is recognized by the English lord:
  A deed half-lost in the memory
  like a lightning the lord's face swept-
  he knew, now, the sailor that on his knees
  had crouched on his deck and wept.
  Then cried Terje Vigen 'You held my all
  in your hand, it was spent on renown.
  One moment longer and vengeance will fall - -'
  'Twas then that the pilot, the Norseman, stood tall
  while the proud English lord knelt down.
