A Preference for Life Outdoors

Hrafnsmál (Raven's Song), stanza 6 (on Harald Fairhair), tr. Nora Chadwick:
Even in his youth he showed no inclination for the fireside and indoor life, the warm bower or pillows stuffed with down.

Ungr læiddiz elldvelli    oc inni sitja,
varma dyngju    eða vattu dúnsfulla.
