Herhvöt úr norðri

Þú sem býrð með eyju í hjartanu

og víðáttur geimsins

stétt undir iljunum:

Réttu mér norðurljósin!

Ég ætla að dansa við unglinginn

sem heldur á stjörnunum.

V ið roðflettum myrkrið

og afhausum eymdina.

Þetta er ljóðið Herhvöt úr norðri og það er á margan hátt viðeigandi að hefja þessa ritsmíð á því, ekki bara af þ

Quotes by Einar Már Guðmundsson (?)

“Naravno, ja razumem stvarnost isto toliko slabo koliko i ona mene razume. U tom pogledu smo kvit. Meni stvarnost, međutim,ne duguje objašnjenje, a ja joj, evo, odužujem svoje.
Bilo bi, u svakom slučaju,lepo kada bih mogao da odgovorim kao nemački filozof Hegel kada je neko primetio da njegova učenja nisu u skladu sa činjenicama: ‘ Tim gore po činjenice.’
Tako mogu da pišu pesnici.
Tako mogu da govore filozofi.
Ali mi,koje šalju u ludnice i smeštaju u kojekakve ustanove, mi nemamo odgovor kad nam se ideje ne podudaraju sa stvarnošću, jer su u našem svetu drugi u pravu i drugi znaju kada neko nije.”

“Така че има разсъдък в безразсъдството. Когато донасям на Бьоси кафе и парче коледен пай, да не говорим за случаите, когато му свивам и цигара, тогава го залива спокойствие, такова блажено спокойствие. Никога не съм имал проблеми, когато съм го къпал, и никога не ми е налитал, макар да е посягал да убие няколко лекари. Значи това е то разсъдъкът в безразсъдството. Ако всички са лоши с теб, не ти остава никой, с когото да бъдеш добър. Пациентите разбират това. Макар че са умствено увредени, сърцата им бият като на всички други.”
― Einar Már Guðmundsson, Angels of the Universe
