The Lament of Deor.
Going through my own medical crap and reading LJ and trying to catch up...
All the strife and sorrow has me thinking about my favorite poem.
If your good with Anglo-Saxon poems you should google it.
The end of each stanza can be roughly translated as:
"That was overcome, and so shall this be" or "That passed, and so shall this".
This is the phrase etched on my dress sword. Both translations are about where my head is at.
