Excerpt from The Light Heart
Of this heroic, naked story, three fragments survive in Origines Islandic?, that learned repository; but to compound one plain tale of them it has been necessary to go for the catastrophe to the Saga of King Olaf. As a result of my hunting and piecing I am able to give an orderly account of the life of a young man which, I think, justifies the title I have given it. Thormod indeed had a light heart, and a high heart. Acting upon an unwritten law, which (if it were not an instinct) must be called a moral law, inasmuch as it swayed the Northmen"s nature to the very roots, he feared nothing except love, and dared everything for love"s sake.
