Valhalla,
 
in Scandinavian mythology, is the great hall or refectory of Gladsheim, the palace of the Æsir or Asgard. The Times, speaking of Westminster Abbey, says “The Abbey is our Valhalla.”   1
       
“We both must pass from earth away,
Valhalla’s joys to see;
And if I wander there to-day,
To-morrow may fetch thee.”
       
Frithiof-Saga, lay xi.
