Hávamál 77–78 — A Name That Endures | Matte Poster
Cattle die. Kinsmen die. We ourselves will die. What remains is the name built through the life we lived.
Hávamál 77 and 78 confront mortality directly, but their lesson is not about death alone. They turn instead toward reputation, deeds, and the memory a person leaves behind. Wealth disappears and life ends, but good renown can continue among those who remember what we did and who we were.
Together, these verses offer one of the Hávamál’s clearest statements about legacy: we cannot choose whether our lives end, but we can influence what our name means when they do.
This print reflects that enduring lesson — a reminder to build a life and reputation worthy of being remembered.
Featuring Hávamál 77 and 78 from the Henry Adams Bellows translation.
