Resumo

... there is Mimir's well, in which wisdom and knowledge are hidden; and Mimir is the name of the one at the well. He is full of lore, because he drinks from the well out of the horn Gjallarhorn. All-father [i.e. Odin] came there and asked for a drink from the well, but he did not get it until he left his eye as a pledge, as it says in the Viiluspd: I know all, Odin: where (your) eye is hidden in the famous well of Mimir; Mimir drinks mead
