Quotes by George Webbe Dasent (?)

“Is there anything more beautiful than gold?” - Freya's question.

Plain-thoughted Thor spoke. “A farm at first light
Is more beautiful than gold, or
A ship's sails in the mist.
Many ordinary things are far more beautiful.”
― George Webbe Dasent, Popular Tales from Norse Mythology
