“Who has ever wandered through such forests, in a length of many miles, in a boundless expanse, without a path, without a goal, amid their monstrous shadows, their sacred gloom, without being filled with deep reverence for the sublime greatness of Nature above all human agency, without feeling the grandeur of the idea which forms the basis of Vidar’s essence?”
Snorri Sturluson, The Prose Edda

"Sigyn invece, malgrado la sua bellezza fosse simile a quella di un bosco silenzioso ed innevato, creava connessioni con il suo prossimo con ogni sguardo ed ogni parola. Era aperta e viva come un'alba invernale."

“I learned the Norse gods came with their own doomsday: Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods, the end of it all. The gods were going to battle the frost giants, and they were all going to die.
Had Ragnarok happened yet? Was it still to happen? I did not know then. I am not certain now.”
Neil Gaiman, Norse Mythology
