Henry Adams Bellows · stanza 70
1923It is better to live than to lie a corpse,The live man catches the cow;I saw flames rise for the rich man’s pyre,And before his door he lay dead.The Poetic Edda: Translated from the Icelandic with an Introduction and Notes, 1923
It is better to live than to lie a corpse,The live man catches the cow;I saw flames rise for the rich man’s pyre,And before his door he lay dead.
