Hildr is also mentioned along with other valkyries in Völuspá, Darraðarljóð and other Old Norse poems.

In addition, Göndul appears within the valkyrie list in the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá, in both of the two Nafnaþulur lists found in the Prose Edda, and among the valkyries listed in Darraðarljóð.

The Old Norse poems Völuspá, Grímnismál, Darraðarljóð, and the Nafnaþulur section of the Prose Edda book Skáldskaparmál, provide lists of valkyrie names.

* Darraðarljóð in Old Norse from « Kulturformidlingen norrøne tekster og kvad » Norway.

The women sing a song called Darraðarljóð, which Dörruð memorizes.

The battle of Högni and Heðinn is recorded in several medieval sources, including the skaldic poem Ragnarsdrápa, Skáldskaparmál ( section 49 ), and Gesta Danorum: king Högni's daughter, Hildr, is kidnapped by king Heðinn.

Bragi is the skaldic god of poetry in Norse mythology.

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

Sometimes " folklore " is religious in nature, like the tales of the Welsh Mabinogion or those found in Icelandic skaldic poetry.

In chapter 50, Hel is referenced (" to join the company of the quite monstrous wolf's sister ") in the skaldic poem Ragnarsdrápa.

John Lindow states that most details about Hel, as a figure, are not found outside of Snorri's writing in Gylfaginning, and says that when older skaldic poetry " says that people are ' in ' rather than ' with ' Hel, we are clearly dealing with a place rather than a person, and this is assumed to be the older conception ," that the noun and place Hel likely originally simply meant " grave ," and that " the personification came later.

This freedom is exploited to the full in skaldic verse and taken to extremes far beyond what would be natural in prose.

The skaldic god Bragi is the first to respond to Loki by telling him that Loki will not have a seat and place assigned to him by the gods at the feast, for the gods know what men they should invite.

The reliability of these medieval prose narratives about the Scandinavian past is often doubtful, but some elements remain worthy of consideration, such as the great quantity of skaldic poetry attributed to court poets of the tenth and 11th centuries that was included in these writings.

The possibility that Harald had married a Danish princess may find some support in a skaldic stanza which is usually assigned to Þorbjörn Hornklofi's Hrafnsmál, a eulogy on Harald's deeds in the form of a conversation between a raven and valkyrie.

He is mentioned in some contemporary English sources, and some skaldic poems.

Fulla is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources ; the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson ; and in skaldic poetry.

In skaldic poetry, the name Hlín is frequent in kennings for women.

The name is already used frequently in this way by the 10th-century poet Kormákr Ögmundarson and remains current in skaldic poetry through the following centuries, employed by poets such as Þórðr Kolbeinsson, Gizurr Þorvaldsson and Einarr Gilsson.

Eir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources ; the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson ; and in skaldic poetry, including a runic inscription from Bergen, Norway from around 1300.

Vör is attested in the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson ; and twice in kennings employed in skaldic poetry.

The section is written in prose interspersed with quotes from skaldic poetry, including material collected in the Poetic Edda.

Skáldskaparmál ( Old Icelandic " the language of poetry ") is the third section of the Prose Edda, and consists of a dialogue between Ægir, a god associated with the sea, and Bragi, a skaldic god, in which both Nordic mythology and discourse on the nature of poetry are intertwined.

Vár is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources ; the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson ; and kennings found in skaldic poetry and a runic inscription.

Although he has his own saga in Heimskringla, it lacks any skaldic verse, which is normally used by Snorri as supporting evidence and this, combined with its rather legendary character, leads historians to be wary of seeing much veracity in it.

In skaldic poetry, " Dvalin's drink " is used as a kenning for poetry, since the mead of poetry was originally created by the dwarves.

In both sources, she is described as the wife of the skaldic god Bragi, and in the Prose Edda, also as a keeper of apples and granter of eternal youthfulness.

His most notable misdeed was the kidnapping of the goddess Iðunn, which is related in both the Prose Edda and the skaldic poem Haustlöng.

It is often referenced in skaldic texts that the giants married or formed relationships with many of the Æsir and Vanir.

for example, the mode of bravery to this anonymous folk poem: `` They brought me news that Spring is in the plains And Ahmad's blood the crimson tulip stains ; ;

This is brought out in the next to last chapter of the book, `` A Hero's Funeral '', written in the form of an impassioned prose poem.

He is proud of having Segovia for a friend and dedicated a poem to him titled `` The Guitar ''.

Carl says it is the greatest poem ever written to the guitar because he has never heard of any other poem to that subtle instrument.

In the calm which follows the reading of a poem, for example, is the effect produced by the enforced quiet, by the musical quality of words and rhythm, by the sentiments or sense of the poem, by the associations with earlier readings, if it is familiar, by the boost to the self-esteem for the semi-literate, by the diversion of attention, by the sense of security in a legitimized withdrawal, by a kind license for some variety of fantasy life regarded as forbidden, or by half-conscious ideas about the magical power of words??

The Chicago contingent of modern critics follow Aristotle so far in this direction that it is hard to see how they can compare one poem with another for the purpose of evaluation.

he usually draws some kind of comparison with the jazz tradition and the poem he is reading -- for instance, he draws the parallel between a poem he reads about an Oriental courtesan waiting for the man she loves, and who never comes, and the old blues chants of Ma Rainy and other Negro singers -- but usually the comparison is specious.

In his recent book, Hurray For Anything ( 1957 ), one of the most important short poems -- and it is the title poem for one of the long jazz arrangements -- is written for recital with jazz.

`` The hero of his next poem is Napoleon Bonaparte '', said Claire, with slightly overdone carelessness.

so that, while it usually is easy to recognize a poem by Hardy, it is difficult to date one.

There was one sterile period: only one poem is dated between 1872 and 1882 and, except for the poems written on the trip to Italy in 1887, very few from 1882 to 1890.

the former contains no poem dated before 1909 - 10 -- that is, no poem from a period covered by a previous volume -- and the latter has only a few such.

After 1895 the number increases, and in the next thirty years there is only one year for which there is no dated poem -- 1903, when Hardy was at work on The Dynasts.

there is no phrase or image that sounds like Hardy or that is striking enough to give individuality to the poem.
