Thank you for your kind words, Inge, and for introducing Hávamál to me.

So curious, it reminds me of an Indonesian proverb with a similar message:

"Gajah mati meninggalkan gading,

harimau mati meninggalkan belang,

manusia mati meninggalkan nama."

("A dead elephant leaves behind its tusks,

a dead tiger leaves behind its stripes,

a dead man leaves behind his name.")
