The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
258
"But
in
this
was
Glam's
might
more
fiendish
than
that
of
most
other
ghosts,
that
he
spoke
in
this
fashion:
'Great
eagerness
have
you
shown
to
meet
me,
Grettir,
and
little
wonder
will
it
be
though
you
get
no
great
good
fortune
from
me;
but
this
I
may
tell
you,
that
you
have
now
received
only
half
of
the
strength
and
vigour
that
was
destined
for
you
if
you
had
not
met
with
me.
I
cannot
now
take
from
you
the
strength
you
have
already
gained,
but
this
I
can
see
to,
that
you
will
never
be
stronger
than
you
are
now,
and
yet
you
are
strong
enough,
as
many
a
man
shall
feel.
Hitherto
you
have
been
famous
for
your
deeds,
but
henceforth
you
shall
be
a
manslayer
and
an
outlaw,
and
most
of
your
deeds
will
turn
to
your
own
hurt
and
misfortune.
Outlawed
you
shall
be,
and
ever
have
a
solitary
life
for
your
lot;
and
this,
too,
I
lay
upon
you,
ever
to
see
these
eyes
of
mine
before
your
own,
and
then
you
will
think
it
hard
to
be
alone,
and
that
will
bring
you
to
your
death.'
"When
Glam
had
said
this
the
faintness
passed
off
Grettir,
and
he
then
drew
his
dagger,
cut
off
Glam's
head,
and
laid
it
beside
his
thigh.
Thorhall
then
came
out,
having
put
on
his
clothes
while
Glam
was
talking,
but
never
venturing
to
come
near
until
he
had
fallen.
He
praised
God,
and
thanked
Grettir
for
overcoming
the
unclean
spirit.
Then
they
set
to
work,
and
burned
Glam
to
ashes,
which
they
placed
in
a
sack,
and
buried
where
cattle
were
least
likely
to
pasture
or
men
to
tread.
When
this
was
done
they
went
home
again,
and
it
was
now
near
daybreak.
