+<blockquote>Ðorn byþ ðearle scearp; ðegna gehwylcum<br>anfeng ys yfyl, ungemetum reþe<br>manna gehwelcum, ðe him mid resteð.</blockquote>
+
+<blockquote>The thorn is exceedingly sharp,<br>an evil thing for any knight to touch,<br>uncommonly severe on all who sit among them.</blockquote>

+<p>Norwegian rune poem:</p>
+
+<blockquote>Þurs vældr kvinna kvillu;<br>kátr værðr fár af illu.</blockquote>
+
+<blockquote>Giant causes anguish to women;<br>misfortune makes few men cheerful.</blockquote>
+
+<p>A modern poem:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+	<p>The only language I seem to understand<br/>
+	is your fingertips tracing hearts on my hands,<br/>
+	ragged fingertips, pincers, claws<br/>
+	held in the thrall<br/>
+	of forever-now.<br/>
+	Staring straightly<br/>
+	blankly<br/>
+	ahead<br/>
+	as falls away the thread<br/>
+	of memories episodic.<br/>
+	You. I know you.<br/>
+	I know you're my wife,<br/>
+	a lover, a friendly face,<br/>
+	oasis of refuge, unharmful place.<br/>
+	That I belong to you, somehow.</p>
+
+	<p>Wearing anything other than my angelic skin<br/>
+	shuts off that part of the brain that insists<br/>
+	I committed<br/>
+	some heinous crime<br/>
+	that can never ever ever be forgiven.<br/>
+	Nay, the crimes themselves do not exist,<br/>
+	and neither do I, eternal now, eternal blue.<br/>
+	Computing set with limited instructions.<br/>
+	This man I do hate, must tear out his soul.<br/>
+	In this place I exhale and turn myself to stone.<br/>
+	Spear I must escape lest it tear out my guts whole.<br/>
+	This woman I trust, pay my life for her protection.</p>
+
+	<p>Clawed mangled hands open and shut,<br/>
+	brought to twisting knees before your altar.<br/>
+	Surrender sometimes goes by the name "love".<br/>
+	Ribbons wrap tight. I'm a birthday present, flash<br/>
+	of a scrapbooking camera, epilepsy, timelapse.<br/>
+	Trembling from transition. Antlered head in your lap.<br/>
+	One day the Veil will one final time falter,<br/>
+	my claws run ragged through,<br/>
+	memories held as collateral for passport<br/>
+	to slink back to the side of you.</p>

+
+<p>A modern poem:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+	<p>Black and blue sitting dollar store tree bird<br/>
+	and frozen pack of neon gummy worms<br/>
+	and sea of pillows and socks and blankets<br/>
+	tugged with mouth in vague shape of nest.</p>
+
+	<p>Looming overhead with quarry in mouth<br/>
+	to taunt a girl who words is without,<br/>
+	open mouth, shut, gaping, hungry outcry<br/>
+	to let loose the worm that hangs from lips on high.</p>
+
+	<p>Ravenous in more ways than one,<br/>
+	need to be fed before chirping and hum<br/>
+	can take the shape of coherent words.<br/>
+	Nesting together. Intertwined wings as birds,</p>
+
+	<p>extra pair with hands tucked in armpits.<br/>
+	Head snuggled in neck, close enough for kiss<br/>
+	but satisfied for now with pounding heartbeat<br/>
+	announcing that Muse has not yet met defeat.</p>
+
+	<p>It happens sometimes, backslide to animal<br/>
+	when words run dry, of inspiration a lull.<br/>
+	Nest of blankets and pillows, warm lover's embrace.<br/>
+	No deadlines to meet; take flight at your own pace.</p>
