The nose is near to the eyes

Old Icelandic proverb, uttered two times in Njal's saga and meaning that duties often come together with family ties.
Thorgerd spoke to Ketil:"Oskuld is dead, as we know. Now keep in mind what you promised when you took him as yours foster-son".

"It may well be", he said, "that I made many promises then, because I never expected days like these would come. In fact, I'm in a difficult position, since I'm married to Njal's daughter - the nose is near to the eyes".

nose

A nose is a protuberance in vertebrates that houses the nostrils, or nares, which receive and expel air for respiration alongside the mouth. Behind the nose are the olfactory mucosa and the sinuses. Behind the nasal cavity, air next passes through the pharynx, shared with the digestive system, and then into the rest of the respiratory system. In humans, the nose is located centrally on the face and serves as an alternative respiratory passage especially during suckling for infants.
