    • 1887, Viktor Rydberg, Fädernas gudasaga. Berättad för ungdomen[1], page 8:
      Mällan Midgard och Jotunheim ligger en bred bottenfördjupning, hvari blodböljorna samlade sig och bildade det kring Midgard på alla sidor sig utbredande hafvet.
      Between Midgard and Jotunheim lies a wide depression, where the waves of blood gathered and formed the spreading sea around Midgard on all sides.
    • 1893, Axel Klinckowström, Sägner och sånger[2], page 108:
      Förr Fenris fjättrar
      I stycken falla,
      Än jämngod hjälte
      Skall Midgard gästa...
      For the fetters of Fenris
      In pieces fall,
      Even good hero
      Should Midgard visit...
