Proverbs from the Flóamanna saga and Orkneyinga saga…
“Betra er at deyja virðuliga en lifa skammsamliga.”
“Better to die honourably than live shamefully.”
“Betra er at deyja með sæmð en lifa með skömm”
“Better to die with honour than live with shame.”
Painting: Valkyrier by Elisabeth Baumann, 1871. 𐘾
