 Glitner is the tenth mansion; It is on gold sustained, And also with silver decked. There Forsete dwells Throughout all time, And every strife allays.

Forsete means simply president. The island Helgoland was formerly called Forseteland. Justice was dealt out in Norseland during the bright season of the year, and only while the sun was up, in the open air, in the flowering lap of nature. The sanctity of the assembly and purity of justice is expressed by the golden columns and the silver roof of Glitner. The splendor of Balder shone upon his son.
