Thingvellir, by Þórarinn B. Þorláksson
Jorge Luis Borges

Gunnar Thorgilsson

(1816 - 1879)

The memory of time
Is full of swords and ships
And the dust of empires
And the rumble of hexameters2
And the high horses of war
And shouts and Shakespeare.
I want to recall that kiss, the kiss
You bestowed on me in Iceland.
