Millesgården, Stockholm

The artist-sculptor Carl Milles and his Austrian wife Olga bought a plot in Stockholm’s suburb Lidingö in 1906 and had an italian-style villa built there in 1908, which got constantly enlarged over the years and later on turned into a museum now known as Millesgården. It is a place as picturesque as it is unique and a visit can only be highly recommended to every visitor of Stockholm!

Schönheit

Verschenke dich, so stolz du bist,
Verschenke alles, was du hast!
Die Jugend ist ein flüchtiger Gast,
Der bald gegangen ist.

Gib dich einem armen Knaben,
Dem du keine Liebe wehrst,
Mach ihn reich, so wirst du erst,
Selber dich zu eigen haben.

Hermann Hesse. Truer words were never spoken.
