With myriad wrinkles; and, in time, this hair,

Brown, brown, and softer than the fur of seals,

Shall lose its lustre and instead shall lie,

A drift of winter in a winter cave,

A feeble gray seen in the glimmering gloom.

But I shall age, too, even as thou dost age.

Yet, yet we can not die; the immortal gods

Can never die! what punishment to know!

What pain to know we age yet can not die!

Death will not come except with Ragnarok.—
