The villa bore the name of “Mio Nido” and I do not know whether he himself thus christened his house. Perhaps he acquired it with name and all. Anyway, there is a lot to that name, “Mio Nido”, “My Nest”. For Alfred Nobel - I use the words of Professor Henrik Schück who ten years ago wrote a biographical sketch of Nobel - was “a lonely man and with his sensitive nature he suffered keenly from the misfortune of being without a home.” He spent his youth in different countries and most of his later life he was travelling and living in hotel-rooms, ships and night trains. His interests were spread over many lands. Combining the best qualities of an inventor and a business man, a rare phenomenon, fighting most of his life against increasingly failing health, Alfred Nobel became more and more aware of a painful lack of a sense of belonging, and of man’s need for roots in a family and in a community. Ragnar Sohlman, who during the latter years of Nobel’s life knew him better than most of his contemporaries, in a sketch of Nobel’s closing years, quotes a letter of his, saying: “For the past nine days I have been ill and have had to stay indoors with no other company than a paid valet; no one enquires about me. When at the age of fifty-four one is left so alone in the world, and a paid servant is the only person who has so far shown one the most kindness, then come heavy thoughts, heavier than most people can imagine. I can see in my valet’s eyes how much he pities me, but I cannot, of course, let him notice that.”
