Bragi and Idun by Emil Doepler 1905
"Brage is the name of another of the Asas. He is famous for his wisdom, eloquence and flowing speech. He is a master-skald, and from him song-craft is called brag (poetry), and such men or women are called brag-men and brag-women. His wife is Idun. She keeps in a box those apples of which the Gods eat when they grow old, and then they become young again, and so it will be until Ragnarok (the twilight of the Gods)."
-Prose Edda/Gylfaginning, Chapter 26
