Let us look alittle at this poor Norse creed, for many reasons. We have tolerablemeans to do it; for there is another point of interest in theseScandinavian mythologies: that they have been preserved so well. In that strange island Iceland, --burst-up, the geologists say, by firefrom the bottom of the sea; a wild land of barrenness and lava;swallowed many months of every year in black tempests, yet with a wildgleaming beauty in summer-time; towering up there, stern and grim, inthe North Ocean; ...with its snow jokuls, roaring geysers, sulphur-poolsand horrid volcanic chasms, like the waste chaotic battle-field ofFrost and Fire;--where of all places we least looked for Literature orwritten memorials, the record of these things was written down.
