<Jr Heimskringlu, 18. sept. 1913:
Hr. Sveinn Thorvaldson kaup-
maður frá Icelandic River, kom
heim úr Evrópuför sinni á
mánudagskveldið. Hafði hann
þá verið að heiman í þrjá mán-
uði, og ferðast um Danmörku,
Þýzkaland, Sviss, Belgíu, Svíþjóð,
Noreg, Bretland og Island. —
Lengst af var honum samferða
bróðir hans Thorbergur, sem
verið hafði við nám við háskóla
á Þýzkalandi. . . Einnig voru í
ferð með þeim bræðrum J. J.
Vopni og Árni Eggertson, öðru
hvoru.
Hr. J. G. Christie, áður hótels-
haldari á Gimli, og frú hans eru
nýlega komin heim úr Islandsför
sinni. Einnig ferðuðust þau um
Bretland, Þýzkaland og Dan-
mörku. — Hr. Ásgrímur Thor-
grímsson, Éasteignasali í Van-
couver, B. C., kom heiman af
Islandi á fimtudaginn, eftir 7
vikna dvöl þar.

eye and strikes upon the ear.
It is composed in end-rime
verse, and with certain in-
significant exceptions it is the
first poem so to be composed
by any Norse skald. In court
meter, drottkvaedr h a 11 r ,
rime and assonance are to be
found only within the line, the
lines themselves being linked
by alliteration. It is Sigurdur
Nordal’s opinion that the rim-
ing lines of Hofudlausn burst
like a thunderclap upon his
audience at York. Like Alex-
ander before him,
With ravished ears
The monarch hears,
Assumes the god,
Affects to nod,
And [hopesj to shaké
the spheres.
In its ring and rime Eirik
heard the promise of his im-
mortality, an spared the arti-
fex of his renown.
Whatever the truth of this,
whether the effect of this new
rimed sonority was so over-
whelming, and whether its
chimes rang Egil forth to
safety, to Egil must be given
the glory of introducing a new
kind of poetry to the North.
The origin of end-rime in
poetry is relevant to our pres-
ent inquiry only in so far as
we must seek a model for
Egil’s runhenda meter. Finnur
Jonsson thought no model

ELD-VATNIÐ KOMIÐ
S.l. laugardag komu til járn-
brautar vagnhlöss af álengi til
Winnipeg, til vínsölubúða fylk-
isstjórnarinnar í Manitoba. Vín-
ið kom frá Bretlandi og er mikið
af því búið til þar, en surat í
Svíþjóð, Frakklandi og Spáni.
Verður byrjað að selja það í
þessari viku. Alt sem til þess
þarf nú að veita sér það, er því
vínkaupaleyfið og borgunin fyr-
ir brúsann.
Laugardaginn 14. þ. m. börð-
ust hinir heimsfrægu hnefaleika-
kappar Jack Dempsey og Louis
Firpo. Orustan var hin snarp-
asta. Barði Dempsey Firpo flatan
aftur og aftur, en Firpo spratt
upp jafnhraðan. — Rak hann
Dempsey slíkt feikna kjaftshögg
í fyrstu “umferð” að hann hófst
á loft, kollsteyptist aftur á bak
út af pallinum og sá 8,000,000
stjörnur, samt enduðu viðskiftin
svo, að Firpo lá endilangur í
blóði sínu, meðan dómarinn
taldi tíu og vissi hvorki í þennan
heim né annan.
need be sought, and that it was
an invention of the Myramen.
Neckel thought that Egil had
learned this meter in England;
and Heusler was of much the
same opinion, that Egil had
heard rimed poetry in the west
and had adapted it to his needs.
Nordal thinks that Egil during
his stay at Athelstan’s court
would have been impressed by
the rimes of Latin and English
poetry. G. Turville-Petre con-
siders that Egil was not likely
to be influenced by Old Eng-
lish poetry in rime, scanty as
that was, but by the rimed
Latin hymns he would hear in
church after he had been
primesigned in England. It
seems certain t'hat Old English
end-rimed verse was itself
written on the model of these
Latin hymns, whose rime and
perhaps meter have been
shown by Stefan Einarsson to
derive in turn from Irish-Latin
hymns. The Old English poem
to which Hofudlausn shows
the closest metrical similarity
is the so-called Riming Poem,
though other end-rimed poems
may possibly have been writ-
ten but lost. Although the
Riming Poem is substantially
older than Hofudlausii( it is
probably of the eighth cen-
tury), it cannot of course be
regarded as its model. Its
signifcance consists in its evi-
dence that end-rime poems
were known in England, where
Egil had spent some time; and
that end-rime in Old English
' poetry preceded endrime in
■ Icelandic or Norse poetry.
‘ Egil, it is worth remarking,
made no further use of end-
! rime. It had served him well
3 for a metrical tour-deforce,
] but was utterly inadequate for
his heartfelt masterpieces,
Sonatorrek and Arinbjarn-
arkvida, in later years. For
these he employed kviduhattr,
a meter known in Scandinavia
sinee the eighth century.
