Egilsson is a poem from Egil’s Saga. The poem is the most personal and moving poem we know from the old Nordic literature. After the death of his son Bødvar, Egil locked himself in a room and wanted to starve himself to meet his end. Especially tragic to Egil is that Bødvar died of an accident at sea and that his other son, Gunnar, died of illness. Therefore, they do not go as fallen warriors to Valhal, but to the dim darkness of Hel. Egil feels that his “legacy“ is broken. He has become old and lonely.
Lyrics (Danish):
Tungt og trægt
tungen løftes,
at løfte vægten
med versets skat;
Odins tyvegods
ikke let fundet,
tungt at slæbe
fra sindets skjul.
