Diaries from Iceland trips 1871-1873. William Morris tells of his travels around Iceland. Magnús Á. Árnason was an Icelandic.
When William Morris died, the Railway published a memorial service about him. It reads:
Iceland has lost the man who held the name of Iceland higher in the air than any other foreigner. It is safe to say that William Morris loved the Icelandic language, history and nationality more passionately than any foreigner, with the exception of Konráð Maurer. He was one of the leading poets of England in the latter part of the nineteenth century, and the gap that has arisen in the circle of Icelanders, where he has been lost, will be filled late.
Morris was the son of a wealthy merchant near London. He attended Oxford University and there he studied mainly printing. He was among the group of young men who wanted to bring a new, medieval touch to English poetry and art. They were called the Young Men, but later became famous men, and among them are Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Ford Madox Broiun, Burns-Joms, Holman Hunt. It was not long before Morris found that he could speak in both formal and informal language, and he began to write. He was the greatest lover of poetry and would not have thought much of composing The Escape from the Head in one night.
