He was silent, and nobody spoke to him, and thus he rode a great part of the day with- out looking much about him. Then the bishop rode up to him, asked him why he was so silent, and what he was thinking of; for, in general, he was very cheerful, and very talkative on a journey to his men, so that all who were near him were merry.
The king replied, ftdl of thought, "Wonderful things h...ave come into my mind a while ago. As I just now looked over Norway, out to the west VOL. ui. P Digitized by Google 226 CHRONICLE OF THE from the mountains, it came into my mind how many happy days I have had in that land. It appeared to me at first as if I saw over all the Throndhjem country, and then over all Norway; and the longer this vision was before my eyes the farther, methought, I saw, until I looked over the whole wide world, both land and sea. Well I know the places at which I have been in former days; some even which I have only heard speak of, and some I saw of which I had never heard, both inhabited and uninhabited, in this wide world." The bishop replied that this was a holy vision, and very remarkable.
