This is an excerpt of a poem about what? And if you can, by whom?

The waves take awful toll of them,

And spent from bloody fights,

And irksome northland winters long,

And dreary winter’s nights,

 

Their dragon-ships hauled high and dry,

Hostage to ice and fogs,

They huddle round their longhouse fires

With their brawling half-wild dogs.

    I confess I do not know.  I do like the picturesque descriptions of the picture he is painting though.

    It reminds me of war and Vikings and exploration and suffering winter hardships.   

    I like it.

    Perfect - on the nail Sharonna. I like the artwork you show here. Some of these mythical-magical works of fantasy-art exhibit a strange magnetism for the curious admirer, don't they?
