Amidst mist and woods,
Fenrir, the wolf of old.
A symbol of primal might,
And the fury of the wild, he ignites.

Lest Fenrir be roused from his slumber mild.
For in misty forests and murky bogs,
Lurks the wolf, the terror of gods.

The other, their opposite, champion for the more benign.

From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall, and make him

By inch-meal a disease! His hear me
And yet I needs must curse. —The Tempest, Act II, Scene 2 by William Shakespeare
