Then Beowulf was given bad... «Beowulf: A New Verse Translation»
innashpitzberg29 июня 2013Then Beowulf was given bad news, A hard truth: his own home, The best of buildings, had been burnt to a cinder, The throne-room of the Geats. It threw the hero Into deep anguish and darkened his mood: The wise man thought he must have thwarted Ancient ordinance of the eternal Lord, Broken His commandment. His mind was in turmoil, Unaccustomed anxiety and gloom Confused his brain; the fire-dragon Had rased the coastal region and reduced Forts and earthworks to dust and ashes, So the war-king planned and plotted his revenge.
