The spirit of old Germanic religion
Jorge Luis Borges: "The poem, though clearly written by a Christian, is infused with the ancient Germanic heroic spirit. After describing the battle, the poet pauses with obvious delight at the crow, with  his beak “as hard as a horn,” that eats, devours, the corpses of men. And he also talks about “that grey beast in the forest,” about wolves that eat the corpses. All of this with a kind of joy. Anlaf and Constantine, according to the Germanic ethic, should have made sure they died in the battle they lost. It was disgraceful that they were saved, that they came out of it alive."
