Havamal Words Of The High One is a book that contains a collection of ancient Norse wisdom and poetry, translated and interpreted by renowned poet W. H. Auden. The Havamal, which translates to Words of the High One, is a series of verses attributed to the god Odin and is considered one of the most important sources of Norse mythology and culture. The book includes advice on how to live a virtuous life, the importance of hospitality, the power of words, and the significance of self-reliance. It also features stories of Norse gods and heroes, providing insight into their beliefs and values. Auden's translation and interpretation of the Havamal is highly regarded for its clarity and accessibility, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in Norse mythology and ancient wisdom.Two wooden stakes stood on the plain, On them I hung my clothes: Draped in linen, they looked well born, But, naked, I was a nobody.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
