u, the ‘larder-drift,’ a popular legend that in the new year’s night at a certain hour there falls a drift sweet as honey, filling all larders and covering all the ground; but, unless caught at the moment, it vanishes ere morning. The tale is told in i. 571, and in a lay of Eggert Ólafsson (Búrdrífan á Nýjársnótt).
