Of Danish authors I know Andersen and Blixen, (plus the ones you told me once that i have not read yet, thanks to Stefano Dedalo, that I have on ebook) who wrote out of Africa in English, but I cannot find the book. I remember it is red Penguin, but who knows where is it. I got the idea, that you Ea, being a Scandinavian lady look for a perfect fit.
Look, I can't find them.

A red penguin? But you did find a seagull. Wouldn't that do?
Wasn't it something from the Icelandic sagas? Egils' Saga. Or it was Völuspa. I can 't really remember.

From Thomas Mann, Magic Mountain (my translation from danish):
"A quite normal young man put the rainy evening sky on fire?"
It sounds like poetry.
