The Otter and the Rat, their heads
together, eagerly talked river-shop,
which is long shop and talk that is
endless, running on like the
babbling river itself.
(From "The Wind in the Willows")

Sculpture (above): One of 212
monumental bronze and granite
figures by Gustav Vigeland
in Frognerparken, Olso.
