Bro 1: Now what do you see, Bro?
Bro 2: Nothing, Bro. Suddenly, it all went dark.
Bro 1: Thats how quickly internet language gets outdated, Bro. Hate to break it to you like this, Bro.

proves the poet
a master of the medium
Heaney's translation does a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of the original poem. He created a modern masterpiece from the Old English original.
Adventure, grim oaths, monsters, and a window into the worldview of another time.
Gath a wyrd swa hio scel.

It may help to know that if you have to read this for school, I was able to read the whole thing in about 6 hours while taking notes for class, and I'm a slow reader. I hope you find it as easy and interesting to read as I did!
