Calling The Dead II

When I wrote Calling The Dead, I was trying to remember another example which I have since found. Because it is from Norse mythology, it ia appropriate to quote it here in full:

"But Odin did not try to enter Hela's halls. Instead he turned aside to the long grey barrow where the prophetess Volva the Wise lay buried. Standing beside her grave he began to chant the mighty spells which move the dead, until slowly the earth gaped open and the form of the prophetess rose up above the barrow wrapped in her grave-clothes, her face green and ghastly.
"Then the dead Volva spoke in cold measured tones without moving her jaws or bending her thin lips:
"'What mortal, to me unknown, draws me back by these weary ways?' she asked. 'I have been buried under the snow, I have been washed by the rain, the dew has drenched me. Long have I been dead.'"
-Roger Lancelyn Green, The Saga of Asgard (Penguin Books, Harmondsworth, Middlesex, 1960), Chapter 12, p. 208.

There is an illustration of Volva in the book but I could not find it by googling.

And, to compare great things to small, there is a comparable passage in an sf work:

"'You should not have wakened me,' he said. 'You should have let me sleep.'"
-Clifford Simak, City (London, 1965), p. 188.
