who can decipher poems and predictions from actuality, it just gives me something to ponder...maybe it's just popular theory that it's a time that already happened...kind of like nostradamus's predictions...after all it was a seer that inspired the poem.

"One was born greater than all,
he was empowered with the strength of heaven and earth;
he is said to be the wealthiest of princes,
closely related to all the families.

Then will come another, even mightier,
though I do not dare to name his name;
few can now see further than when
Odin has to meet the wolf

or maybe it's just a nice poem left for interpretation, has the horn been blown yet?
