And Grettir himself says that by that sight only was he dismayed amidst all that he ever saw.
Then his soul sank within him so, from all these things, both from weariness, and because he had seen Glam turn his eyes so horribly, that he might not draw the short-sword, and lay Avell-nigh 'twixt home and hell.
But herein was there more fiendish craft in Glam than in most other ghosts, that he spake now in this wise — " Exceeding eagerly hast thou wrought to meet me, Grettir, but no wonder will it ...be deemed, though thou gettest no good hap of me ; and this must I tell thee, that thou now hast got half the strength and manhood, which was thy lot if thou hadst not met me : now I may not take from thee the strength which thou hast got before this ; but that may I rule, that thou shalt never be mightier than now thou art ; and nathless art thou mighty enow, and that shall many an one learn. Hitherto hast thou earned fame by thy deeds, but henceforth will wrongs and manslayings fall on thee, and the most part of thy doings will turn to thy woe and ill-hap ; an outlaw shalt thou be made, and ever shall it be thy lot to dwell alone abroad ; therefore this weird I lay on thee, ever in those days to see these eyes with thine eyes, and thou wilt find it hard to be alone — and that shall drag thee unto death.
