No such misfortune had ever yet befallen gods or men ; there was long silence in heaven, and then with one accord there broke out a loud noise of weeping. The...
Seite 197 - Aesir dared not revenue the deed, because the place was holy, but Frigg, rushing into their midst, besought them to send one to Hel to fetch him back.
