I'm cross-posting this with
r_macduff since there are more of you on my friends list there than here, and thus more of you will get a stab at the icons. These are from advance photos of the new movie Tristan and Isolde, which I know very little about but am very excited about seeing for that very reason. (However, as
perberaidien pointed out, I should read it first in case Ridley Scott makes mincemeat of the story.) The text is from a translation by Jesse Glass of the Anglo-Saxon poem "Deor" (
http://www.cipherjournal.com/html/deor.html), which was my second choice for a source since
aglaeca's site has been down for some time and I have no other access to his translation. You'll have to defer to his opinion on whether or not Mr. Glass's work is any good (although I did use
aglaeca's version of the line "that passed over and so may this"). The ones that are obviously not in English are in Anglo-Saxon, and if I screwed them up then please let me know. It was hard to get any nice-looking text in there without overwhelming the pictures.
