[All]: Taking up the theme of cosmic disturbance caused by Þórr’s journey through the skies (st. 14/6, 8) to Grjótún, st. 15 elaborates on it, and it is taken further in sts 16/2, 3, 4: all the skies are aflame and hail batters the ground before Þórr’s chariot, pulled by two goats (cf. Gylf, SnE 2005, 23).
