Among local writers from Thy, none is held in higher regard than Jens Peter Jacobsen, or J.P. Jacobsen as we Danes know him. He was born April 7, 1847 in Thisted, and died a short 38 years later from tuberculosis…

His novels have been translated into many languages, including English (Niels Lyhne is a Penguin Classic title). He was always held in high regard abroad: Freud read him; Arnold Schönberg set him to music. Rilke learned Dansih so he could read him; Joyce and Thomas Mann were admirers of his work. Jacobsen himself was a fine translator, and the first to render Darwin’s titles into Danish.

3. Fru Marie Grubbe - I.P.Jacobsen, 1876  

Den luft, der lå under lindetræernes kroner, havde vugget sig frem over den brune hede og de tørstige marker; den var bleven baget af solen og støvet af vejene, men nu var den renset af det tætte løvhang, svalet af de kølige lindeblade, og duften af lindens gule bloster havde gjort den fugtig og givet den fylde. Nu lå den og blinkede stille og saligt op i det lysegrønne hvalv, kærtegnet af sagte dirrende blade og af hvidgule sommerfugles flimrende vingeslag.

De menneskelæber, som åndede denne duft, var svulmende og friske, den barm, den højnede, var ung og spæd. Barmen var spæd og foden var spæd, midjen smal, væksten slank, og der var en vis mager styrke i den hele skikkelse. Frodigt var kun det stærke, dunkeltgyldne hår, der halvt var bundet og halvt hang løst; for den lille, mørkeblå fløjlshue var gleden af og hang om halsen i sine knyttede hagebånd ned på ryggen som en lille munkehætte. Ellers var der intet klosterligt ved dragten; en bred og ligeskåren lærredskrave slog ned over en lavendelblå hvergarns kjole med korte og vide, opskårne ærmer; ud af dem brusede et par store poseærmer af fint, hollandsk lin. En højrød sløjfe sad på brystet og høj røde sløjfer på skoene. Hun gik med hænderne på ryggen og med foroverbøjet hoved. Med legende, sirlige skridt gik hun langsomt op ad gangen; men ikke lige frem; hun gik i bugter; snart var hun ved at støde imod et træ på den ene side, snart var hun ved at komme ud mellem træerne på den anden side.
