JOTUNHEIM

I

Beyond the Northern Lights, in regions haunted

Of twilight, where the world is glacier planted,

And pale as Loké in his cavern when

The serpent's slaver burns him to the bones,

I saw the phantasms of gigantic men,

The prototypes of vastness, quarrying stones;

Great blocks of winter, glittering with the morn's

And evening's colors,—wild prismatic tones
