Odin questioning Mimir by Emil Doepler 1905

"...under that root which turns toward the Rime-Giants is Mímir's Well, wherein wisdom and understanding are stored; and he is called Mímir, who keeps the well. He is full of ancient lore, since he drinks of the well from the Gjallar-Horn."

-Gylfaginning, Chapter 15
