Then his divine eyes fell.
“I love the green Earth best,” he said,
“And I on Earth will dwell!” ...
Then Balder said, “The Earth is fair, and fair
Yea fairer than the stormy lives of gods,
The lives of gentle dwellers on the Earth;
For shapen are they in the likenesses
Of goddesses and gods, and on their limbs
Sunlight and moonlight mingle, and they lie
Happy and calm in one another’s arms
