The sun from the south, the moon´s companion, her right hand cast about the horse-doors. The sun did not now what halls she possessed. The stars did not know where they had a station. The moon did not know what power he possessed. |

Various editors have regarded this stanza as interpolated; Hoffory thinks it describes the northern summer night in which the sun does not set. Lines 3-5 are quoted by Snorri. In the manuscripts line 4 follows line 5. Regarding the sun and moon {footnote p. 5} as daughter and son of Mundilferi, cf. Vafthruthnismol, 23 and note, and Grimnismol, 37 and note.] | |||
“The sun from the south” - in the far north, where the sun alternately does not set for months, nor rise for months, it can seem as though it is coming from a different direction than what we are used to here in the US. |
