Name
An aurochs, the great wild ox, in the English poem. In the Nordic poems úr is fine rain, drizzle, or the spray of sparks from hot iron.
Meaning
A force that doesn't let up. The aurochs was the wild ox, larger than any cattle, and it could not be tamed; the English poem has it fighting with its horns across the moors. The Nordic poems give the same relentless force to the weather: fine rain that keeps on falling, the clouds' weeping that ruins the hay and that the herdsman hates, and sparks spraying from iron under the hammer. None of it can be owned or stopped. It can only be met, or endured.
The poems
English Rune Poem. Aurochs is proud
and great-horned,
a fierce beast,
it fights with its horns,
a famous roamer of the moors:
that is a bold creature.
Icelandic Rune Poem. Sparks come from bad iron;
often the reindeer runs
over the frozen snow.
Norwegian Rune Poem. Drizzle is the weeping of clouds,
and the ruin of the hay,
and the herdsman's hate.
Swedish Rune Poem. Drizzle is in the west wind.
