The land is holy which lies yonder near to Æsir and alfs; in Thruthheim, there shall Thor aye dwell, till draws nigh the doom of the gods. __________________________________________________________________ "Five hundred apartments and yet forty more I think are in Bilskirnir in all. Of the buildings whose roofs I know, I know my son's is the greatest" __________________________________________________________________ Kormt and Ormt and the Derlaugs twain, Thor does wade through every day, to doom when he fares 'neath the ash Yggdrasil; for the bridge of the gods is ablaze with flames-- hot are the holy waters. __________________________________________________________________ The Poetic Edda Translated by Lee M Hollander © 1962 ISBN 0-292-76499-5 LCCCN 61-10045 Fifth paperback printing 1994 University of Texas Press Box 7819, Austin, Texas, 78713-7819 Purchase this book. __________________________________________________________________________ The Complete Text of Grimnismál Back to Top Back to Thor Texts | Back to Thundrune Home |
