Brothers will fight together
And become each other's bane;
Sisters' children
Their sib shall spoil.
Hard is the world,
Sensual sins grow huge.
There are ax-ages, sword-ages---
Shields are cleft in twain,---
There are wind-ages, wolf-ages,
Ere the world falls dead.
I'm not saying that there's no beauty, and nothing to learn from it.
But, at the end of the day, it's just quaint. An object of reflection and curiosity for the intellectually and poetically inclined.
