Leið erumk fjöll,
vark-a ek lengi á,
nætr einar níu;
ulfa þytr
mér þótti illr vera
hjá söngvi svana.
Sofa ek né máttak
sævar beðjum á
fugls jarmi fyrir;
sá mik vekr,
er af víði kemr,
morgin hverjan már.
Snorri differentiates between true history and the mythological lies of the Æsir. Historically, Njörðr and Skaði have children, but I do not believe in history.
If they had managed, in myth, to stay together long enough, what would a daughter have been like? She must have loved both fell and wave. Gulls must have flown overhead in her dreams and wolves circled her bed.
