Quotes by Gerður Kristný (?)

“Faxið glóandi akur
taglið knippi af korni
His mane a sunlit field
his tail a sheaf of corn”

“Heimfús stefnir hugur minn
yfir vorstillt vatn
járnfrosinn jökul
It’s homewards with longing that my heart flies on
over water calmed by spring
over iron-hard ice-fields”
― Gerður Kristný, Bloodhoof

“Óðara læstu tíkur þrjár í mig tönnum:
Sorg Einsemd Þjáning
With rapid bounds three bitches caught me fast in their teeth:
Sorrow Solitude Suffering”
