Old English Poetry in Translation

    • All of the writings we have in Old English come from after the conversion of the English and were written down by scribes in religious orders. The Catholic nature of these works is refreshing to imbibe, especially in light of how secularized and scandalous modern "literature" is. So from a historical and religious perspective, this archive is well worth sharing:

    • Glad to see Dream of the Rood and Judith both on there. Beautiful poetry.

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    • Wonderful. I can still read Old English but comprehension of the texts is sketchy. :smirk: Been a long time since I studied such literary treasures.

    Reminds me of Tolkien's Quenya language....
