Oh cursed is he
who in time of trouble has to thrust his soul
in the fire's embrace, forfeiting help;
he has nowhere to turn. But blessed is he
who after death can approach the Lord
and find friendship in the Father's embrace.
--Beowulf // Norton translation

ReplyDeleteunfortunately, i only remember not enjoying the long excerpt we read (or hadn't read) of beowulf in high school. and then going to the theaters to pay $9 for a CGI of naked Beowulf and Angelina Jolie. LOL, but that's awesome you're majoring in english ((: i'm always a little slightly jealous of English majors.
