out of the stones, a man's hair, the second day a man's head, the
third day all the man was there. He is named Turi; he was fair
of face, great and mighty; he gat a son named Bor, who took to
him Besla, daughter of Bolthorn, the giant, and they had three
sons, Odin, Vili, and Ve. Bor's sons slew Ymir the giant, but
when he fell there ran so much blood out of his wounds that all
the kin of the Hrimthursar were drowned, save Hvergelmir and his
household, who got away in a boat. Then Bor's sons took Ymir and
bore him into the midst of Yawning-gap, and made of him the
earth; of his blood seas and waters, of his flesh earth was made;
they set the earth fast, and laid the sea round about it in a
ring without; of his bones were made rocks; stones and pebbles of
his teeth and jaws and the bones that were broken; they took his
skull and made the lift thereof, and set it up over the earth
with four sides, and under each corner they set dwarfs, and they
took his brain and cast it aloft, and made clouds. They took the
sparks and gledes that went loose, and had been cast out of
Muspellheim, and set them in the lift to give light; they gave
resting-places to all fires, and set some in the lift; some fared
free under it, and they gave them a place and shaped their
goings. A wondrous great smithying, and deftly done. The earth
is fashioned round without, and there beyond, round about it lies
the deep sea; and on that sea-strand the gods gave land for an
abode to the giant kind, but within on the earth made they a burg
round the world against restless giants, and for this burg reared
they the brows of Ymir, and called the burg Midgard. The gods
went along the sea-strand and found two stocks, and shaped out of
them men; the first gave soul and life, the second wit and will
to move, the third face, hearing, speech, and eyesight. They
gave them clothing and names; the man Ask and the woman Embla;
