Prose Edda — Old Norse facing a living language
Víðarr heitir einn, inn þögli áss. Hann hefir skó þjokkvan. Hann er sterkr, næst því sem Þórr. Af honum hafa goðin mikit traust í allar þrautir
"One is called Vidar, the silent god. He wears a thick shoe. He's nearly as strong as Thor, and the gods place great trust in him in every hard struggle.
