Page "Bragi" Paragraph 11

The first part of Snorri Sturluson's Skáldskaparmál is a dialogue between Ægir and Bragi about the nature of poetry, particularly skaldic poetry.

Bragi tells the origin of the mead of poetry from the blood of Kvasir and how Odin obtained this mead.

He then goes on to discuss various poetic metaphors known as kennings.
