Dialogue between Njordr and Skadi
Njord:
You are following me
As a giant shade
The hills were a burden to me
I did not endure in them,
Only nine – days, months, years?
I went sick from the howling of the wolves
After the hearing of the swans.
Skadhi:
I could not sleep on the beach
Because of the rumbling of the tides
He awakes me every morning,
He who comes from the deep.
