The prophecy of the Völva

THE CREATION OF EARTH
"When Ymir lived, long ago
there was no sand, no sea, no cool waves
no earth, no skies
only a bottomless pit, and no grass"

THE NEW CREATION OF EARTH
"I see earth rising a second time
out of the foam, fair and green
down from the fells, fish to capture,
wings the eagle, waters flow."
