Much wisdom knows the Sybil
I see further ahead
To Ragnarök
And the fighting gods
Brother will fight brother
and slay him
cousins shall their bonds of kinship
Violate
Hard it is in the world, great whoredom
An axe-age a sword-age
shields shall be cloven
A wind-age a wolf-age
ere the world sinks
The Poetic Edda. Carolyne Larrington (trad, alterada por mim). Oxford World's Classics: 1996
Lembro também este vetusto post e este.
I know Caroline Larrington ^^ She's an English tutor in my college, slightly scary lady, but very nice. Hadn't ever seen any of her poetry before.
