    “Wise sir. Do not grieve. It is always better / to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. / For every one of us‚ living in this world / means waiting for our end.

When a warrior is gone‚ / that will be the best and only bulwark. / So arise‚ my lord‚ and let us immediately / set forth on the trail of this troll-dam. / I guarantee you: she will not get away‚ / not to dens under ground nor upland groves / nor the ocean floor. She’ll have nowhere to flee

    1. I believe Christmas season is a season to celebrate Jesus’ birth. I think that giving others presents shows Jesus giving freedom and forgiveness to us. 2.

Not those who desperately
