Ibsen-Two ducks on a pond・・・・・・

[konohazuku]

Please tell me.
"Two ducks on a pond, a blue sky beyond.
I'll remember for years, I'll remember with tears"

From Which works of Ibsen?

[bazarov]

I think it's The Wild Duck

Thanks a lot!
It's so helpful.

[Nick Rubashov]

That's a beautiful saying, makes me want to go read Ibsen.

It's not from The Wild Duck. Probably a poem or from one of his early works. Look for it at http://www.Ibsen.net, yes..

[Banville]

It's from the Irish poet William Allingham (1824?-89).

Four ducks on a pond,
A grass-bank beyond,
A blue sky of spring,
White clouds on the wing;
What a little thing
To remember for years—
To remember with tears!
