I think over again
My small adventures
My fears
Those small ones that seemed
            so big

For all of the vital things
I had to get and to reach
And yet there is only one
            great thing
To live and see the great day
            that dawns

And the light that fills the world.
- as recorded by Knud Rasmussen in Report of the Fifth Thule Expedition, Vol 9 (1921-1924). The book that evolved out of Rasmussen’s journal from the trip is a classic of arctic exploration and travels with the Inuit: Across Arctic America: Narrative of the Fifth Thule Expedition
