Edith Södergran

She sent a letter to the editor to clarify that her book was neither written for the public nor intellectual circles, but for ” those few individuals standing closest to the boundary of the future.” In the same letter she stated that ”the earth belongs to those who bear the highest music within themselves. I address those rare individuals and challenge them to lift up their inner music, the same as building the future. I myself sacrifice every atom of my power to my lofty goal, I live the life of a saint.”
