Förlovningsfesten

A poem about the poetic pursuit that in a harmonious way longs for death to occur. Life's desires and worries have done much harm to the poetic self and the person sees death as a help to loosen a large weight from their shoulders.

A man has buried himself in women, in religious ecstasy , in vanity and in his belief in so-called artistic activity. His tension and frustration has only increased. And now he gives it all up. Awaits the bailiff. His personal bankruptcy is signed.

Three young women and four young men are gathered in a hunting lodge on a small island. Two of the men, Paul and Bilbo, write a police drama for a big newspaper. Imprudently, they initially imagined a perfect crime, so perfect that they can not find the solution. And yet they worked "from nature": their novel takes place in a pavilion similar to that where they are and the characters are like them.
