In Gylfaggining its said abt baldr as following :
Annarr sonr Óðins er Baldr,
ok er frá honum gott at segja.
Hann er svá fagr álitum ok bjartr svá at lýsir af honum,
ok eitt gras er svá hvítt at jafnat er til Baldrs brár.
Þat er allra grasa hvítast,
ok þar eptir máttu marka fegrð hans bæði á hár ok á líki.
Hann er vitrastr ása ok fegrst talaðr ok líknsamastr.
En sú náttúra fylgir honum at engi má haldask dómr hans.
Hann býr þar sem heita Breiðablik, þat er á himni.
Í þeim stað má ekki vera óhreint......
after translation that means .:
The second son of Odin is Baldr,
and good things are to be said of him.
He is best, and all praise him;
he is so fair of feature, and so bright,
that light shines from him.
A certain herb is so white that it is likened to Baldr's brow;
of all grasses it is whitest, and by it thou mayest judge his fairness, both in hair and in body.
He is the wisest of the Æsir, and the fairest-spoken and most gracious;
and that quality attends him, that none may gainsay his judgments.
He dwells in the place called Breidablik,
which is in heaven; in that place may nothing unclean be.......................
