“Apropos of Eskimo, I once heard a missionary describe the extraordinary difficulty he had found in translating the Bible into Eskimo. It was useless to talk of corn or wine to a people who did not know even what they meant, so he had to use equivalents within their powers of comprehension. Thus in the Eskimo version of the Scriptures the miracle of Cana of Galilee is described as turning the water into blubber; the 8th verse of the 5th chapter of the First Epistle of St. Peter ran: 鈥榊our adversary the devil, as a roaring Polar bear walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.鈥� In the same way 鈥楢 land flowing with milk and honey鈥� became 鈥楢 land flowing with whale鈥檚 blubber,鈥� and throughout the New Testament the words 鈥楲amb of God鈥� had to be translated 鈥榣ittle Seal of God,鈥� as the nearest possible equivalent. The missionary added that his converts had the lowest opinion of Jonah for not having utilised his exceptional opportunities by killing and eating the whale.”

“Je veux visiter
une femme 茅trang猫re.
Je veux deviner des 茅nigmes

Je d茅lie les courroies de mes bottes,
je cherche dans l'homme et
je cherche dans la femme,
je fais dispara卯tre les rides des femmes.”

“Hvad enten man i mange punkter deler mit syn eller ikke, om jeg end ikke finder alt bestaaende saare godt, og selv om jeg skulde vise den svaghed at f酶le sorg over et synkende folk, som kanske ikke staar til at redde, da det allerede er stukket af vor civilisations giftige braad, saa tr酶ster jeg mig med, at det ikke kan forv忙rre dette folks kaar, og haaber, man vil opfatte mine bemerkninger i samme aand, som de er skrevne.”
― Fridtjof Nansen, Eskimoliv
