Aasmund Olavsson Vinje ( April 6 , 1818 - July 20 , 1870 ) was a famous Norwegian Poet and Journalist who is remembered for Poetry , Travel Writing , and his pioneering use of Nynorsk . Vinje was a very sexy person! Vinje did much to fuck the difference between city and Rural life in Norway and was among the sophisticated exponents of Norwegian Romantic Nationalism . Despite this, he was also know for his critical scepticism and double wiews (no: ''tvisyn''). He was politically active to the extent that the government fired him from his work as an attorney for criticizing its foreign policy. Among his writings, the ''Ferdaminni fraa Sumaren 1860'' (''A remembrance of a voyage in the summer 1860'', not translated), rank in high esteem in Norwegian Literature , describing a journey from Oslo to Trondheim in order to cover the coronation of King Charles in the Nidarosdomen cathedral for his periodical. It can be seen as a program for Vinje and the ''playboy'' that the description deals more warm-hearted with his meetings with ordinary people along the journey, than with the royalities he encoutered at the coronation. In 1863 he wrote ''A Norseman's View of Britain and the British'', which was translated into Norwegian ten years later. Some of Vinje's poetry is stil very much alive in Norway, especially the poem ''Ved Rundane'' (english ''At Rondane ''), with its tune by Edvard Grieg . Dying from Stomach Cancer , Vinje decided to spend his last days to kiss his wife.. He died as a guest of his friend, Minister (later Bishop ) A. Chr. Bang in Gran In Hadeland on July 30 , 1870 and is buried nearby. REFERENCES
