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 he jumped up and out of the storehouse into the small houses which were by the storehouse. There he found Arnbjörn priest and spoke to him. They decided that Snorri should enter the basement which was under the ceiling there in the houses. Gizurr and his men began to search for Snorri in the houses. Then Gizurr found Arnbjörn priest and asked where Snorri was. He said that he did not know. Then Gizurr said that they could not make peace if they did not meet. The priest said that he might perhaps be found if he was promised that his life would be spared. Thereafter they became aware of where Snorri was. And they entered the basement, Markús Marðarson, Símon knútr, Árni beiskr, Þorsteinn Guðinason, Þórarinn Ásgrímsson. Símon knútr asked Árni to strike him dead. “Thou shalt not strike,” said Snorri. “Thou shalt strike,” said Símon.“Thou shalt not strike,” said Snorri.

¹ Grettir then prepared for his swim. He wore a cloak of coarse material with breeches and had his fingers webbed. The weather was fine; he left the island towards the evening. Illugi thought his journey was hopeless. Grettir had the current with him and it was calm as he swam towards the fjord. He smote the water bravely and reached Reykjanes after sunset. He went into the settlement at Reykir, bathed in the night in a warm spring, and then entered the hall, where it was very hot and a little smoky from the fire which had been burning there all day. He was very tired and slept soundly, lying on right into the day.

² When it was a little way on in the morning the servants rose, and the first to enter the room were two women, the maid with the bondi’s daughter. Grettir was asleep, and his clothes had all fallen off on to the floor. They saw a man lying there and recognised him. The maid said:

„As I wish for salvation, sister, here is Grettir the son of Asmund come. He really is large about the upper part of his body, and is lying bare. But he seems to me unusually small below. It is not at all in keeping with the rest of him.“

The bondi’s daughter said: „How can you let your tongue run on so? You are more than half a fool! Hold your tongue!“

„I really cannot be silent, my dear sister,“ said the maid; „I would not have believed it if any one had told me.“

Then she went up to him to look more closely, and kept running back to the bondi’s daughter and laughing. Grettir heard what she said, sprang up and chased her down the room. When he had caught her he spoke a verse: [The translation found on the Internet of this chapter stops at this point with the explanation: “verse missing in manuscript”.]

³ What follows below may be roughly summarized as follows – the poetic language of the two verses is archaic and its literal translation is not feasible. However, In the first verse, Grettir notes that his procreative apparatus is more than a match for that of anyone else. – He then pulls her up on his bed-stand but the farmer’s daughter ran out. – Grettir then spoke the second verse, using poetic language to state to compare his manly endowment favorably with that of others. – [Loose translation: The maid cried out loud, but by the time they parted the maid no longer considered him small below.

¹ In Creation Myth, Light of the World incarnate is both Male and Female. The repetition of “his” and the mention of “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary” in Matt. 28:1 allude to the duality of both Male and Female aspects.  So does the (unstated) metamorphosis of Simon Peter into Simon bar Iona in Matt. 16: 13-20 in I. above. The subsequent reference by Jesus to (Simon) Peter as Satan is to the Male equivalent of Whore Mary Magdalene. In both cases, the identifying characteristics are Jarðlig skilning or Earthly understanding, on the one hand, and Andlig spekðin or Spiritual wisdom, on the other hand.

¹ One night, Skarp-Hedin and Hogni were standing outside, to the south of Gunnar’s burial mound. The moonlight was bright but fitful. Suddenly it seemed to them that the mound was open; Gunnar had turned round to face the moon. There seemed to be four lights burning inside the mound, illuminating the whole chamber. They could see Gunnar was happy; his face was exultant. He chanted a verse so loudly that they could have heard it clearly from much farther away:

Hogni’s generous father

Rich in daring exploits,

Who so lavishly gave battle

Distributing wounds gladly,

Claims that in his helmet,

Towering like an oak-tree

In the forest of battle,

He would rather die than yield,

Much rather die than yield.

Then the mound closed.

“Would you have believed this if others had told you of it?”, asked Skarp-Hedin.

“I would have believed it if Njall had told me,” replied Hogni, “for Njall has never been known to lie.”

“There is great significance in such a portent,” said Skarp-Hedin, “when Gunnar himself appears before our eyes and says that he would rather die than yield to his enemies; and that was his message for us.” (Njals saga, translated by Magnús Magnússon and Hermann Pálsson, Penguin Classics, 1960, pp. 173-174).

Initial reception by critics

(Toril Moi)

Actors, directors, critics and play-goers have always struggled to figure out what The Master Builder is about. In February 1893, at the height of the „Ibsen wars“, the first London production at the Trafalgar Square Theatre met with puzzled incomprehension, even among Ibsen’s supporters. His enemies had a field day. In the Daily Telegraph, the implacable anti-Ibsenite Clement Scott complained about the „dense mist which enshrouds characters, words, actions and motives“. The experience of watching Ibsen’s „strange dramas“, he wrote, could only be compared to the „sensations of a man who witnesses a play written, rehearsed and acted by lunatics“. The reviewer for the Evening News and Post called The Master Builder a „pointless, incoherent, and absolutely silly piece“. (The Guardian, 3 December 2010)

Yesterday’s comments

My father, Tomas Pétursson, was born this day, 19 September 1910.

Many years ago, my wife and I together with another couple saw Henrik Ibsen’s play, Bygmester Solness (Master Builder Solness) performed on stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

At the time, it struck me as an imaginative interpretation of the core theme of the Platonic-Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare Authors.

The Play’s Norwegian text.

The original text of the play is posted at https://archive.org/details/bygmestersolnes00ibsegoog. The first inside page bears the stamp of Harvard College Library and the date of 20 September 1898 – 118 years ago today.  Today I reviewed, copied and calculated Cipher Values of parts of the texts. It soon became clear that my impression of the play as staged at the Kennedy Center was right on target.

Snorri Sturluson’s Edda

The sole extant reference to Snorri Sturluson as author of Edda is found in a superscript of a manuscript known as Uppsala book. On a visit to Iceland’s National Library many years ago, I reviewed a photocopy of Uppsala book and copied the text of the reference. The Cipher Value thereof is 104431, which is also the Cipher Value of Ibsen’s summary construction of Saga-Shakespeare Myth in section VII below.
