And Surtur wrap[1] the world in blaze.
- ↑ “And Surtur wrap.”—In this confusion of all things, the army of evil Genii and Giants, conducted by Surtur, shall break in to attack the Gods. He shall scatter fire around every where, which shall consume all things, and reach even to heaven. But presently after, a new earth springs from the bosom of the waves, adorned with green meadows; the fields there bring forth without culture; calamities are there unknown; a palace is there raised, more shining than the sun, all covered with gold. This is the palace which the just will inhabit, and where they will enjoy delight for ever more. Then the Powerful, the Valiant, He who governs all things, comes forth from his lofty abodes, to render divine justice.
