Hamsun saw man and nature united in a strong bond that could almost be considered mystical. Look Back on Happiness begins, "I have gone to the forest...... Not because I am offended about anything, or very unhappy about men's evil ways; but since the forest will not come to me, I must go to it. That is all.

I have left the world as a sultan leaves rich food and harems and flowers, and clothes himself in a hair shirt."
