He wandered on fine old paths
He wandered along high ridges
He wandered towards the heart of Midgard
He wandered until he saw a mountain
Over a bridge wet with dew he walked
Through the golden gate of Asgard
He saw the vigorous gardens of gods
Crowned around the father of All's high castle

Answer, O high, even high and third
what is mankind and the race of gods' faith?'
Gylfaginning, deception for he who was wrongly taught
But not for the one who knows
