'There to remain til Heindall's horn shall sound,
And Ragnarok enclose creation round;
And Bifrost break beneath Surtur's horde,
And Gods and men fall dead beneath the sword;"
H.P. Lovecraft, The Teuton's Battle-Song
"Giant particularly associated with Ragnarok."
"After the individual gods have fallen, Surt casts fire over the earth and burns the entire world. The name Surt is used in poetry as a general name for a giant. It meant something like "black," as if he were charred"
John Lindow, Norse Mythology
"The fire giants, led by Surt, come riding out of Muspell, and as they approach Asgard the rainbow bridge Bifrost cracks under their weight."
"The sun grows dark, stars fall from the sky, the sea invades the land, Surt flings fire over all the world; heaven and earth, the whole universe are consumed,
and Earth sinks into the sea."
Gwyn Jones, The Vikings
"That one is called Surt, who sits there at the end of the world as a guardian. He has a burning sword, and at the end of the world he will travel and harry and defeat all the gods and burn the entire world with fire."
Snorri Sturluson, Gylfaginning
