...he black raven pronounced the joy of heaven
with a blithe heart. Then came the bright light
hurrying over shadow. The harmful man hastened,
the nobles were eager to return their people.

far off flit to the fiends’ domain.
Soon he found, who in former days,
harmful in heart and hated of God,
on many a man such murder wrought,
that the frame of his body failed him now.
For him the keen-souled kinsman of Hygelac
held in hand; hateful alive

...O, for my sake do you with Fortune chide,
The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds,

Whilst like a willing patient I will drink
Potions of eisel 'gainst my strong infection;

...Telling you all would take too long.
Besides, we read in the Bible
how the good is harmful
and how misfortune is good.
Let's invite something new
by unifying our silences;
if, then and there, we advance,
we'll know it soon enough.
And yet towards evening,
when his memory is persistent,
one belated curiousity
stops him before the mirror.
We don't know if he is frightened.
But he stays, he is engrossed,
