Excerpt from Northern Mythology, Vol. 1: Comprising the Principal Popular Traditions and Superstitions of Scandinavia, North Germany, and the Netherlands
He who devotes himself to delineate the state of a people in its earliest times, takes on himself a task of difficulty. He shares with all his predecessors the same feeling, by which the departed attracts, even, perhaps, because it is no more, the very darkness dazzles, because it is so black they who should guide him are probably blind themselves, and of those who wandered before him, many have, no doubt, taken devious paths.
