BEOWULF

• "Roots that reach as far as the water and help keep it dark. At night that lake burns like a tourch. No one knows its bottom, no wisdom reaches such depths. A deer, haunted through the woods by packs of hounds, a stag with great horns, though driven through the forest." (1364-1369)
• "...Nor have I ever see. Out of all the men on earth, one greater than has come with you; no commonor carries such weapons, unless his appearence, and his beauty, are both lies..." (247-251)
• "He who had come to them from across the sea, bold and strong-minded, had driven affiction off, purged Herot clean..." (825-827)
