Odin speaks with a Volva by Emil Doepler 1905
"Alone I sat | when the Old One sought me,
The terror of Gods, | and gazed in mine eyes:
"What hast thou to ask? | why comest thou hither?
Othin, I know | where thine eye is hidden."
I know where Othin's | eye is hidden,
Deep in the wide-famed | well of Mimir;
Mead from the pledge | of Othin each morn
Does Mimir drink: | would you know yet more?"
-Völuspá 28
