Artist's Comments

Wounded I hung on a wind-swept gallows
For nine long nights,
Pierced by a spear, pledged to Odhinn,
Offered, myself to myself.

They gave me no bread, they gave me no mead,
I looked down;
with a loud cry, I took up runes;
from that tree I fell.

-----------------------------

Jag vet att jag hängde i vindomsusat träd,
i nio nätters tid,
sårad med uddstav, åt Odin given,
själv åt mig själv.

Jag fick ej njuta horndryck, ej heller bröd -
jag spanade noga nedåt;
runor tog jag upp, ropade och tog,
nu föll jag ner från trädet.
.

From Hávamál, "Sayings of the high one"/the Poetic Edda.

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things.
The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.

Fantastic movement and use of light, the frame on the other hand doesn't, IMHO, add much to it, I imagine it would look better with a full frame or none at all, other than that this is a job beautifully done.
