The early 1900s caption reads: "Sons of the Fins-Slagfinn, Egil, and Volund. They traveled south to Sweden and came to lake in place Wolfsdale and saw on margin of lake three maidens sitting and spinning flax."  The three brothers and their Valkyrie-wives are believed to represent the first three ages of the fourth humanity. Oldest was Egil, the innocent, whose children became the servants of Thor. The second was named Slagfinn, the hunter; the third, which in the tale gave the seed of the fourth great age, was Volund, the elf-king, the soul of humanity during that phase. Early one morning they found three women on the shore spinning flax, and beside them lay their swan-disguises, for they were Valkyries.

The Blind in the Ditch (Les aveugles dans le fossé) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). The Blind in the Ditch (Les aveugles dans le fossé), 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 5/8 x 9 7/8 in. (19.4 x 25.1 cm).  This painting illustrates a parable in which Jesus likens those who ignore his teachings to the blind leading the blind. Holding on to one another but without informed guidance, the blind are vulnerable to danger. In his commentary, Tissot asserts that during his stay in Jerusalem he observed the following practice: In the streets of Jerusalem numbers of blind men may still sometimes be seen, walking one behind the other in files, and clinging to each other, under the leadership of one of their number who is familiar with the obstacles to be avoided, and knowing every nook and corner of the town.” European Art 1886-1894
