“A foolish man
is all night awake,
pondering over everything;
he than grows tired;
and when morning comes,
all is lament as before.”
Benjamin Thorpe, Pocket Havamal
“A cowardly man
thinks he will ever live,
if warfare he avoids;
but old age will
give him no peace,
though spears may spare him.”
Benjamin Thorpe, Pocket Havamal
“I know that I hung
On a wind-rocked tree
Nine whole nights,
With a spear wounded,
And to Odin offered
Myself to myself;
On that tree
Of which no one knows
From what root it springs.”
Benjamin Thorpe, The Havamal: Sayings of the High One
