Humming over a shovel and a shovel by Guðjón Bjarnfreðsson.
Guðjón Bjarnfreðsson, a gardener and poet, was born in Efri-Steinsmýri in Meðalland on March 3, 1919. His parents were Skaftfellingar "back to the fire", Bjarnfreður Ingimundarson and Ingibjörg Sigurbergsdóttir, both well-off and well-made. Guðjón was born in a barn bathroom by the heat from the cow, which was under the bathroom floor. And he was the fifth in a row of 20 siblings. Raulað yfir haka og sköflu is Guðjón's only book.

Your destiny


I know a girl on the west coast.

proud of their ancestral lands

That's where she plans to live, that's where she wants to get rich.

but for that you need a man and a horse and a bell and a bitch

but in the south people sit and hope

for a peasant woman to come to bed

into the blanket.


Because there is often more than a gap between friends

people don't even know anything about the others

who also want to live and build and cultivate land

but both need partners or a "practical" marriage.

Your destiny, the destiny of an entire nation

had to disappear from the paths of youth

to disappear into the distance.
