¹Egilssaga

In the later days of Hacon the Great Egil Skallagrim’s son was in his ninth decade of years, and save for his blindness was a hale and hearty man.

One summer, when men made ready to go to the Thing, Egil asked Grim that he might ride with him to the Thing. Grim was slow to grant this. And when Grim and Thordis talked together, Grim told her what Egil had asked. ‘I would like you,’ said he, ‘to find out what lies under this request.’

Thordis then went to talk with Egil her uncle: it was Egil’s chief pleasure to talk to her. And when she met him she asked: ‘Is it true, uncle, that you wish to ride to the Thing? I want you to tell me what plan you have in this?’

‘I will tell you,’ said he, ‘what I have thought of. I mean to take with me to the Thing two chests that king Athelstan gave me, each of which is full of English silver. I mean to have these chests carried to the Hill of Laws just when it is most crowded. Then I mean to sow broadcast the silver, and I shall be surprized if all share it fairly between them. Kicks, I fancy, there will be and blows; nay, it may end in a general fight of all the assembled Thing.’ Thordis said: ‘An excellent idea, methinks, is this, and it will be remembered so long as Iceland is being built.’ [Italics – Alternative translation, G.T.]

After this Thordis went to speak with Grim and told him Egil’s plan. ‘That shall never be,’ said he, ‘that he carry this out, such monstrous folly.’ And when Egil came to speak with Grim of their going to the Thing, Grim talked him out of it all; and Egil sat at home during the Thing. But he did not like it, and he wore a frowning look.

At Moss-fell were the summer-sheds of the milch kine, and during the Thing-time Thordis was at the sheds. It chanced one evening, when the household at Moss-fell were preparing to go to bed, that Egil called to him two thralls of Grim’s. He bade them bring him a horse. ‘I will go to the warm bath, and you shall go with me,’ said he. And when Egil was ready, he went out, and he had with him his chests of silver. He mounted the horse. They then went down through the home paddock and under the slope there, the last men saw of him.

But in the morning, when men rose, they saw Egil wandering about in the holt east of the farm, and leading the horse after him. They went to him, and brought him home. But neither thralls nor chests ever came back again, and many are the guesses as to where Egil hid his money.

²This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased.

3:1

Á þeim dögum kemur Jóhannes skírari fram og prédikar í óbyggðum Júdeu

3:2

með þessum orðum: „Takið sinnaskiptum, himnaríki er í nánd.“

3:3

Nú rættist það sem Jesaja spámaður segir: Rödd hrópanda í eyðimörk: Greiðið veg Drottins, gerið beinar brautir hans. 
3:4

Jóhannes bar klæði úr úlfaldahári og leðurbelti um lendar sér og hafði til matar engisprettur og villihunang.

3:5

Menn streymdu til hans frá Jerúsalem, allri Júdeu og Jórdanbyggð,

3:6

létu hann skíra sig í ánni Jórdan og játuðu syndir sínar.
3:7

Þegar Jóhannes sá að margir farísear og saddúkear komu til skírnar sagði hann við þá: „Þið nöðrukyn, hver kenndi ykkur að flýja komandi reiði?

3:8

Sýnið í verki að þið hafið tekið sinnaskiptum!

3:9

Látið ykkur ekki til hugar koma að þið getið sagt með sjálfum ykkur: Við eigum Abraham að föður. Ég segi ykkur að Guð getur vakið Abraham börn af steinum þessum.

3:10

Öxin er þegar lögð að rótum trjánna og hvert það tré, sem ber ekki góðan ávöxt, verður upp höggvið og því í eld kastað.

3:11

Ég skíri ykkur með vatni til þess að þið takið sinnaskiptum en sá sem kemur eftir mig er mér máttugri og er ég ekki verður að bera skó hans. Hann mun skíra ykkur með heilögum anda og eldi.

3:12

Hann er með varpskófluna í hendi sér og mun gjörhreinsa láfa sinn og safna hveiti sínu í hlöðu en hismið mun hann brenna í óslökkvanda eldi.“

3:13

Þá kom Jesús frá Galíleu að Jórdan til Jóhannesar að taka skírn hjá honum.

3:14

Jóhannes vildi varna honum þess og sagði: „Mér er þörf að skírast af þér og þú kemur til mín!“
3:15

Jesús svaraði honum: „Lát það nú eftir. Þannig ber okkur að fullnægja öllu réttlæti.“ Og Jóhannes lét það eftir honum.
3:16

En þegar Jesús hafði verið skírður sté hann jafnskjótt upp úr vatninu. Og þá opnuðust himnarnir og hann sá anda Guðs stíga niður eins og dúfu og koma yfir sig.

3:17

Og rödd kom af himnum: „Þessi er minn elskaði sonur sem ég hef velþóknun á.“

¹Snorri Sturluson’s Advice to Young Poets

But now one thing must be said to young skalds, to such as yearn to attain to the craft of poesy and to increase their store of figures with traditional metaphors; or to those who crave to acquire the faculty of discerning what is said in hidden phrase: let such an one, then, interpret this book to his instruction and pleasure. Yet one is not so to forget or discredit these traditions as to remove from poesy those ancient metaphors with which it has pleased Chief Skalds to be content; nor, on the other hand, ought Christian men to believe in heathen gods, nor in the truth of these tales otherwise than precisely as one may find here in the beginning of the book.

²Alföðr/Father of All With Rime Giants

Gangleri began his questioning thus: „Who is foremost, or oldest, of all the gods?“ Hárr answered: „He is called in our speech Allfather, but in the Elder Ásgard he had twelve names: one is Allfather; the second is Lord, or Lord of Hosts; the third is Nikarr, or Spear-Lord; the fourth is Nikudr, or Striker; the fifth is Knower of Many Things; the sixth, Fulfiller of Wishes; the seventh, Far-Speaking One; the eighth, The Shaker, or He that Putteth the Armies to Flight; the ninth, The Burner; the tenth, The Destroyer; the eleventh, The Protector; the twelfth, Gelding.“

Then asked Gangleri: „Where is this god, or what power hath he, or what hath he wrought that is a glorious deed?“ Hárr made answer: „He lives throughout all ages and governs all his realm, and directs all things, great and small.“ Then said Jafnhárr: „He fashioned heaven and earth and air, and all things which are in them.“ Then. spake Thridi: „The greatest of all is this: that he made man, and gave him the spirit, which shall live and never perish, though the flesh-frame rot to mould, or burn to ashes; and all men shall live, such as are just in action, and be with himself in the place called Gimlé. But evil men go to Hel and thence down to the Misty Hel; and that is down in the ninth world.“ Then said Gangleri: „What did he before heaven and earth were made?“ And Hárr answered: „He was then with the Rime-Giants.“

But now one thing must be said to young skalds, to such as yearn to attain to the craft of poesy and to increase their store of figures with traditional metaphors; or to those who crave to acquire the faculty of discerning what is said in hidden phrase: let such an one, then, interpret this book to his instruction and pleasure. Yet one is not so to forget or discredit these traditions as to remove from poesy those ancient metaphors with which it has pleased Chief Skalds to be content; nor, on the other hand, ought Christian men to believe in heathen gods, nor in the truth of these tales otherwise than precisely as one may find here in the beginning of the book.

³Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

Halldór Laxness benti einhvers staðar á að nafnið Ingólfur hafi verið óþekkt á Norðurlöndum fyrr en löngu eftir að Ingólfr Arnarson er sagður hafa numið Ísland árið 874. Arngrímur lærði sagði reyndar í Crymogæa að landnám Íslands hafi verið árið 864. Nútíma fræðimenn vita ekki hvaðan hann kann að hafa haft þá vitneskju því landnámið hefur hvergi annars staðar verið tengt árinu 864.

Óþekkt nafn, óvisst ártal?  

Af líkum má ráða að einhver fiskur búi undir steini þegar Sturla Þórðarson, sem var sagður hafa verið „alvitrastr‟ sinna samtíðarmanna, og Arngrímur lærði, sem kynnti nágrannaþjóðum bókmenntaarf Íslendinga, setja fram í sambandi við Landnám Íslands nafn og ártal sem samrýmast ekki því sem menn telja sig vita um karlmannanöfn á 9. öld og þá meintu sögulegu staðreynd að landnámsárið var 874.

Við lestur frásagnar í dag af grein brezka tímaritsins Economist um íslenzka tungu og þá Ingólf Arnarson og Snorra Sturluson þá datt mér í hug að kanna hvort finna mætti vísbendingar um viðkomandi fisk undir steini vopnaður táknmálslykill Reykholtsmáldaga og þekkingu á táknmáli Njálu, sem Einar Pálsson setti fram í ritsafni sínu Rætur íslenzkrar menningar.

Background

(British Library)

The legend of the Holy Grail is one of the most enduring in Western European literature and art. The Grail was said to be the cup of the Last Supper and at the Crucifixion to have received blood flowing from Christ’s side. It was brought to Britain by Joseph of Arimathea, where it lay hidden for centuries.

The search for the vessel became the principal quest of the knights of King Arthur. It was believed to be kept in a mysterious castle surrounded by a wasteland and guarded by a custodian called the Fisher King, who suffered from a wound that would not heal. His recovery and the renewal of the blighted lands depended upon the successful completion of the quest. Equally, the self-realisation of the questing knight was assured by finding the Grail. The magical properties attributed to the Holy Grail have been plausibly traced to the magic vessels of Celtic myth that satisfied the tastes and needs of all who ate and drank from them.

The Holy Grail first appears in a written text in Chrétien de Troyes’s Old French verse romance, the Conte del Graal (‘Story of the Grail’), or Perceval, of c.1180. During the next 50 years several works, both in verse and prose, were written although the story, and the principal character, vary from one work to another. In France this process culminated in a cycle of five prose romances telling the history of the Grail from the Crucifixion to the death of Arthur. The Old French romances were translated into other European languages. Among these other versions two stand out: Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzifal (early 13th century) and Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte Darthur (late 15th century).

With the passing of the Middle Ages, the Grail disappears until the 19th century when medieval history and legend awoke the interest of writers such as Scott and Tennyson, of the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and of composers, notably Richard Wagner. The symbol of the Grail as a mysterious object of search and as the source of the ultimate mystical, or even physical, experience has persisted into the present century in the novels of Charles Williams, C.S. Lewis and John Cowper Powys. (http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/features/mythical/grail.html)

¹Sonatorrek – Saga Tempest

Translation

(Internet)

One summer it happened that there was a ship in White-river, and a great fair was held there. Egil had there bought much wood, which he was having conveyed home by water: for this his house-carles went, taking with them an eight-oared boat belonging to Egil. It chanced one time that Bodvar begged to go with them, and they allowed him so to do. So he went into the field with the house-carles. They were six in all on the eight-oared boat. And when they had to go out again, high-water was late in the day, and, as they must needs wait for the turn of tide, they did not start till late in the evening. Then came on a violent south-west gale, against which ran the stream of the ebb. This made a rough sea in the firth, as can often happen. The end was that the boat sank under them, and all were lost. The next day the bodies were cast up: Bodvar’s body came on shore at Einars-ness, but some came in on the south shore of the firth, whither also the boat was driven, being found far in near Reykjarhamar.

Egil heard these tidings that same day, and at once rode to seek the bodies: he found Bodvar’s, took it up and set it on his knees, and rode with it out to Digra-ness, to Skallagrim’s mound. Then he had the mound opened, and laid Bodvar down there by Skallagrim. After which the mound was closed again; this task was not finished till about nightfall. Egil then rode home to Borg, and, when he came home, he went at once to the locked bed-closet in which he was wont to sleep. He lay down, and shut himself in, none daring to crave speech of him.

It is said that when they laid Bodvar in earth Egil was thus dressed: his hose were tight-fitting to his legs, he wore a red kirtle of fustian, closely-fitting, and laced at the sides: but they say that his muscles so swelled with his exertion that the kirtle was rent off him, as were also the hose.

On the next day Egil still did not open the bed-closet: he had no meat or drink: there he lay for that day and the following night, no man daring to speak with him. But on the third morning, as soon as it was light, Asgerdr had a man set on horseback, who rode as hard as he could westwards to Hjardarholt, and told Thorgerdr all these tidings; it was about nones when he got there. He said also that Asgerdr had sent her word to come without delay southwards to Borg. Thorgerdr at once bade them saddle her a horse, and two men attended her. They rode that evening and through the night till they came to Borg.

Thorgerdr went at once into the hall. Asgerdr greeted her, and asked whether they had eaten supper. Thorgerdr said aloud, ‘No supper have I had, and none will I have till I sup with Freyja. I can do no better than does my father: I will not overlive my father and brother.’ She then went to the bed-closet and called, ‘Father, open the door! I will that we both travel the same road.’ Egil undid the lock. Thorgerdr stepped up into the bed-closet, and locked the door again, and lay down on another bed that was there.

Then said Egil, ‘You do well, daughter, in that you will follow your father. Great love have you shown to me. What hope is there that I shall wish to live with this grief?’ After this they were silent awhile. Then Egil spoke: ‘What is it now, daughter? You are chewing something, are you not?’ ‘I am chewing samphire,’ said she, ‘because I think it will do me harm. Otherwise I think I may live too long.’ ‘Is samphire bad for man?’ said Egil. ‘Very bad,’ said she; ‘will you eat some?’ ‘Why should I not?’ said he. A little while after she called and bade them give her drink. Water was brought to her. Then said Egil, ‘This comes of eating samphire, one ever thirsts the more.’ ‘Would you like a drink, father?’ said she. He took and swallowed the liquid in a deep draught: it was in a horn. Then said Thorgerdr: ‘Now are we deceived; this is milk.’ Whereat Egil bit a sherd out of the horn, all that his teeth gripped, and cast the horn down.

Then spoke Thorgerdr: ‘What counsel shall we take now? This our purpose is defeated. Now I would fain, father, that we should lengthen our lives, so that you may compose a funeral poem on Bodvar, and I will grave it on a wooden roller; after that we can die, if we like. Hardly, I think, can Thorstein your son compose a poem on Bodvar; but it were unseemly that he should not have funeral rites. Though I do not think that we two shall sit at the drinking when the funeral feast is held.’ Egil said that it was not to be expected that he could now compose, though he were to attempt it. ‘However, I will try this,’ said he.

Egil had had another son named Gunnar, who had died a short time before.

So then Egil began the poem, and this is the beginning.

‘Much doth it task me
My tongue to move,
Through my throat to utter
The breath of song.
Poesy, prize of Odin,
Promise now I may not,
A draught drawn not lightly
From deep thought’s dwelling.

²Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

²Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

Vefr Darraðar – Translation

©Magnús Magnússon and Hermann Pálsson

(Njáls Saga, Penguin Books, 1960)

   On the morning of Good Friday, it happened in Caithness that a man called Dorrud went outside and saw twelve riders approach a woman’s bower and disappear inside. He walked over to the bower and peered through a window; inside, he could see women with a loom set up before them. Men’s heads were used in place of weights, and men’s intestines for the weft and warp; a sword served as the beater, and the shuttle was an arrow. And these were the verses they were chanting:

‘Blood rains

From the cloudy web

On the broad loom

Of slaughter.

The web of man,

Grey as armour,

Is now being woven:

The Valkyries

Will cross it

With a crimson weft.

‘The warp is made

Of human entrails;

Human heads

Are used as weights;

The heddle-rods

Are blood-wet spears;

The shafts are iron-bound,

And arrows are the shuttles,

With swords we will weave

This web of battle.

‘The Valkyries go weaving

With drawn swords,

Hild and Hjorthrimul,

Sanngrid and Svipul,

Spears will shatter,

Shields will splinter,

Swords will gnaw

Like wolves through armour.

‘Let us now wind

The web of war

Which the young king

Once waged.

Let us advance

And wade through the ranks,

Where friends of ours

Are exchanging blows.

‘Let us now wind

The web of war

And then follow

The king to battle.

Gunn and Gondul

Can see there

The blood-splattered shields

That guarded the king.

‘Let us now wind

The web of war,

Where the warrior banners

Are forging forward.

Let his life

Not be taken;

Only the Valkyries

Can choose the slain.

‘Lands will be ruled

By new peoples

Who once inhabited

Outlying headlands.

We pronounce a great king

Destined to die;

Now an earl

Is felled by spears.

‘The men of Ireland

Will suffer a grief

That will never grow old

In the minds of men.

The web is now woven

And the battlefield reddened;

The news of disaster

Will spread through the lands.

‘It is horrible now

To look around,

As a blood-red cloud

Darkens the sky.

The heavens are stained

With the blood of men,

As the Valkyries

Sing their song.

‘We sang well

Victory songs

For the young king;

Hail to our singing!

Let him who listens

To our Valkyrie song

Learn it well

And tell it to others.

‘Let us ride our horses

Hard on bare backs,

With swords unsheathed,

Away from here.’

Then they tore the woven cloth from the loom and ripped it to pieces, each keeping the shred she held in her hands. Dorrud left the window and went home. The women mounted their horses and rode away, six to the south and six to the north.

¹A New Breed of Men Sent Down from Heaven

Now the last age by Cumae’s Sibyl sung has come and gone, and the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew: justice returns, returns old Saturn’s reign, with a new breed of men send down from heaven.  Only do thou, at the boy’s birth in whom the iron shall cease, the golden race arise, befriend him, chaste Lucina; ‘tis thine own Apollo reigns.  And in thy consulate, this glorious age, O Pollio, shall begin, and the months enter on their mighty march.  Under thy guidance, whatso tracks remain of our old wickedness, once done away, shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear.  He shall receive the life of gods, and see heroes with gods commingling, and himself be seen of them, and with his father’s worth reign o’er a world of peace.

²Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

³Ten Sefiroth of Kabbalah

Background

The most influential Kabbalistic text was The Zohar, which was probably written in about 1275 by the Spanish mystic Moses of Leon [who] believed that God gives each mystic a unique and personal revelation, so there is no limit to the way the Torah can be interpreted: as the Kabbalist progresses, layer upon layer of significance is revealed. The Zohar shows the mysterious emanation of the ten sefiroth as a process whereby the impersonal En Sof becomes a personality. In the three highest sefiroth – Kether, Hokhmah and Binah – when, as it were, En Sof has only just „decided“ to express himself, the divine reality is called „he.“ As „he“ descends through the middle sefiroth – Hesed, Din, Tifereth, Netsakh, Hod and Yesod – „he“ becomes „you.“ Finally, when God becomes present in the world in the Shekinah, „he“ calls himself „I.“ It is at this point, where God has, as it were, become an individual and his self-expression is complete, that man can begin his mystical journey. Once the mystic has acquired an understanding of his own deepest self, he becomes aware of the Presence of God within him and can then ascend to the more impersonal higher spheres, transcending the limits of personality and egotism. It is a return to the unimaginable Source of our being and the hidden world of sense impression is simply the last and outer-most shell of the divine reality. (Karen Armstrong, A History of God, Ballantine Books, New York, 1993, p. 247)

Background

Francis Bacon and Don Quixote de la Mancha

A

„It is impossible to help but notice now and then that Armado [of Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’] is extraordinarily like Don Quixote in his consistent overestimate of himself and in his insistence on imagining himself a superhuman storybook hero. […]

„There is something rather pleasant in the thought that Shakespeare might be borrowing from Miguel de Cervantes, the Spanish author of the Don Quixote saga, since Cervantes was almost an exact contemporary of Shakespeare’s and by all odds one of the few writers, on the basis of Don Quixote alone, worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with Shakespeare.

„There is only one catch, but that is a fatal one. The first part of Don Quixote was published in 1605, a dozen years at least after Love’s Labor’s Lost was written.“ (Isaac Asimov, Asimov’s Guide to Shakespeare, Avenel Books, New York, 1978, Vol, I, pp. 431-2.)

B

„Another curious case of cryptography was presented to the public in 1917 by one of the best of the SHAKESPEARE scholars, Dr. Alfred von Weber Ebenhoff of Vienna.  Employing the same systems previously applied to the works of Bacon, he began to examine the works of Cervantes…. Pursuing the investigation, he discovered overwhelming material evidence: the first English translation of Don Quixote bears corrections in Bacon’s hand.  He concluded that this English version was the original of the novel and that Cervantes had published a Spanish translation of it.“ (J. Duchaussoy, Bacon, Shakespeare ou Saint-Germain?, Paris, La Colombe, 1962, p. 122 – in Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Publishers, New York, 1989, p. 406.)

¹Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

²Malachy’s Last Pope Prophecy

In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church

will be occupied by Peter the Roman,

who will feed the sheep through many tribulations;

when they are over, the city of seven hills will be destroyed,

and the terrible or fearsome Judge will judge his people. The End.

¹Abomination of Desolation

Message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

Appendix

Los Caprichos

Many years ago I saw an exhibition of paintings by Francisco Goya in the Prado Museum in Madrid. I had never seen any of his paintings before but they struck me as familiar! For they appeared to have been selected to show Goya‘s visual construction of concepts from ancient creation myths which I knew well. Thus, I could explain to my late wife the ideas which seemed to be reflected in almost every painting.

In summer of 2014 I re-visited the Prado Museum with my sister-in-law and related to her my impression of Goya‘s paintings at the first visit. On return to Iceland she gave me an excellent Icelandic edition of Goya‘s Los Caprichos which are described by Wikipedia as follows:

Los Caprichos is a set of 80 prints in aquatint and etching created by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya in 1797 and 1798, and published as an album in 1799. The prints were an artistic experiment: a medium for Goya’s condemnation of the universal follies and foolishness in the Spanish society in which he lived. The criticisms are far-ranging and acidic; he speaks against the predominance of superstition, the ignorance and inabilities of the various members of the ruling class, pedagogical short-comings, marital mistakes and the decline of rationality. Some of the prints have anticlerical themes. Goya described the series as depicting „the innumerable foibles and follies to be found in any civilized society, and from the common prejudices and deceitful practices which custom, ignorance or self-interest have made usual“.

¹Snorri Sturluson – Advice to Young Poets

But now one thing must be said to young skalds, to such as yearn to attain to the craft of poesy and to increase their store of figures with traditional metaphors; or to those who crave to acquire the faculty of discerning what is said in hidden phrase: let such an one, then, interpret this book to his instruction and pleasure. Yet one is not so to forget or discredit these traditions as to remove from poesy those ancient metaphors with which it has pleased Chief Skalds to be content; nor, on the other hand, ought Christian men to believe in heathen gods, nor in the truth of these tales otherwise than precisely as one may find here in the beginning of the book.

²Let us return to Marine Terrace.

(Part I, Book I, Ch. I. Translation: Nottingham Society. 1907.)

One morning at the end of November, two of the inhabitants of the place, the father and the youngest of the sons, were seated in the lower parlour. They were silent, like shipwrecked ones who meditate. Without, it rained; the wind blew. The house was as if deafened by the outer roaring. Both went on thinking, absorbed perhaps by this coincidence between a beginning of winter and a beginning of exile.

All at once the son raised his voice and asked the father —

„What thinkest thou of this exile?“

„That it will be long.“

„How dost thou reckon to fill it up?“

The father answered —

„I shall look on the ocean.“

There was a silence. The father resumed the conversation:–

„And you?“

„I,“ said the son, — „I shall translate Shakespeare.“

³Les Misérables – The Final Chapter

In the Père-Lachaise cemetery, in the neighborhood of the potters’ field, far from the elegant quarter of that city of sepulchers, far from all those fantastic tombs that display in presence of eternity the hideous fashions of death, in a deserted corner, beside an old wall, beneath a great yew on which the bindweed climbs, among the dog-grass and the mosses, there is a stone. This stone is exempt no more than the rest from the leprosy of time, from the mold, the lichen, and the birds’ droppings. The air turns it black, the water green. It is near no path, and people do not like to go in that direction, because the grass is high, and they would wet their feet. All around there is a rustling of wild oats. In spring, the linnets come to sing in the tree.

This stone is entirely blank. The only thought in cutting it was of the essentials of the grave, and there was no other care than to make this stone long enough and narrow enough to cover a man.

No name can be read there.

Only many years ago, a hand wrote on it in pencil these four lines, which have gradually become illegible under the rain and the dust, and are probably gone by now:

He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,

He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.

It happened calmly, on its own,

The way night comes when day is done.
