Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ultima Thule Sendeth Greeting: An Icelandic Poem
This poem, in the ancient mother-tongue of Scandinavia and in the old Northern Km'da, was intended for the Book of Homage, but was belated owing to the great disturbance of mail routes and navigation. The author is the veteran poet of Iceland and translator of Shakespeare. No one more nobly represents the living tradition of Old Northern poetry. The translation was printed in the Times Literary Supplement of September 14. The translator desires to thank Dr. Jon Stefansson for kind help.
