This narrative poem, first published in 1895, tells the story of VeslemÃ, y, a young woman with second sight, a â€~Haugtussa, ' who lives close to nature and the supernatural. Through VeslemÃ, y's experiences, Garborg explores themes of nature, folklore, and the inner life of a sensitive individual.
