Deadline: Sunday, October 30th, 2011 at 7pm EDT, 23:00 UTC (check the time converter).
Points: 10 points participation


At this link, you will find a translation of the Anglo-Saxon rune poem. Your task is to take one stanza (in case of confusion, each stanza is separated into its own little "square" at that link) and create a relevant illustration, using Photoshop, MS Paint, pen-and-paper, or whatever other program you're most comfortable with.

You are not required to put the text of your stanza on your image, but you are welcome to do so if you'd like.

Please post your images under your house's thread, and keep the size to 500px along the longest side (meaning the largest your image can be is 500x500 pixels).

Please use the text/HTML in the text box when posting your comment.

Which stanza did you choose?:
The ocean seems interminable to men,
if they venture on the rolling bark
and the waves of the sea terrify them
and the courser of the deep heed not its bridle.

Which stanza did you choose?: The horse is a joy to princes in the presence of warriors.
A steed in the pride of its hoofs,
when rich men on horseback bandy words about it;
and it is ever a source of comfort to the restless.

it is a floor wrought by the frost, fair to look upon.
