- <p>There is not a known Norwegian or Anglo-Saxon rune poem for Stan.</p>
- <p>A modern poem:</p>
- <blockquote>
- <p>Either with full throat believe<br/>
- or throw it to the streets.<br/>
- There is no room for ambivalence<br/>
- when it comes to making yourself free.<br/>
- If you yourself do not care,<br/>
- then who will care for you?<br/>
- If you wish not to escape this hole,<br/>
- not even the strongest can your body exhume.</p>
- <p>You're striving to decorate your jail<br/>
- so hard no energy is left<br/>
- to break through the Veil.<br/>
- So bogged down with minutae<br/>
- of strangers hundreds of miles away<br/>
- you forget to attention pay<br/>
- to the wife<br/>
- that lies<br/>
- beside<br/>
- you.</p>
- <p>Lethe, I with burning heart desire<br/>
- that you hold me as your only standard<br/>
- if you insist that veneration to a deity<br/>
- is the natural state of humanity.<br/>
- If you have to succumb to your nature<br/>
- as a vessel of pure action,<br/>
- the only caretaker I will accept<br/>
- is the only one who shares your passions.</p>
- <p>Are we doing this<br/>
- or not?</p>
