“
A moth ate songs — wolfed words!
That seems a weird dish — that a worm
Should swallow, dumb thief in the dark,
The songs of a man, his chants of glory,
Their place of strength. That thief-guest
Was no wiser for having swallowed words. ” - A Feast of Creatures, Anglo-Saxon Riddle-Songs, trans. Craig Williamson. London: Scolar Press, (c)1982, p. 107.
