Lightning just struck more closely to me than it ever has in my entire life. I'm talking a distance of something to the tune of fifteen feet give or take.

The sky was cleft in twain and the devil himself spoke into the eyes of my soul. "Papa loves mambo," he said.

I think now I know. Now I know what it's like. To taste the tears of Odin.

Oh, he does. With but one eye, his tears hold the nightmares of Ragnarok. And they are merciless.

Actually, there is documented proof of Odin crying:

Oh no!Odin was going to be late for Mrs. Anderson's home-ec class! The king of Gods knew that if he had any chance of getting there on time, he was going to have to run as fast as he could! He began sprinting down the hall, and just as he was about to get to the door, someone's foot shot out and tripped him! He fell, dropping his books everywhere and skinning his knee. He turned back to see the school bullies, Loki and Fenrir, laughing at him. As tears began welling in his eyes, Odin yelled "I'm gonna get the Valkyries, and then you'll be sorry!". Then the universe was obliterated, and everyone and everything you've ever loved was destroyed in a raging cataclysm from which there is no escape.

From Ragnarok for Kids Harpers and Collins, 1992.

Freya made it to class on time, didn't she? She was always such a damn goody-goody.

Those may appear to be tears to a mere mortal, but Odin, master of Valhall, god of victory and wisdom, fucking slayer of the giant Ymir which are world is made of, does not cry. Odin did not sacrifice is eye and drink out of the well of Mimir just to cry over a spilt universe.
