Answer 2

The 'grandeur' is associated with the 'mighty dead' because the splendour of the deeds inspires us through their sagas. The legends and stories of martyrs enthuse us. Through their legends, the mighty dead continue to live and to be active as spiritual powers. These give us pleasure and divine influence like an eternal fountain that is bestowed to us from heaven.
