クリスマスの古英語

þa wæron hyrdas on ðam earde waciende ofer heora eowde; and efne, þa Godes engel stod on-emn hi, and Godes heordt-nys hi bescean; and hi wurdon micclum afyrhte. Ða cwæþ se Godes engel to ðam hyrdum: "Ne ondrædað eow; efne, ic eow bodige micelne gefean, þe becymð eallum folce; for-ðan-þe nu todæg is eow acenned Hælend Crist on Dauides ceastre. Ge seoð þis tacen: ge ge-metað þæt cild mid cild-claðum bewunden, and on binne ge-led."


♪Translating this was half of my final exam in OE today. Slightly ridiculous, but watching Charlie Brown Christmas every year since I was born finally paid off as I remembered the majority of it. Firum foldan, frea almihtig!

夢

I was in a little town in the South. I entered a house and saw my boyfriend and his friends laugh at my presence (I was holding something too ridiculous to speak of) and I joined them as they laid out lots of coke. The lines were poetry. I snorted while reading, then walked outside and got on the biggest bridge ever (!!) heading North. This bridge was so wide I had to run from side to side to see what was surrounding it and beneath it. I ran to the left and saw China and Korea and Japan. I ran forward until I reached the end of the bridge. Africa was there but I couldn't go. Actually, I'm not quite sure if I could go anywhere but this stinking bridge. Trees and things blocked the way into Africa, and how could I have gone to Asia when it was miles upon miles below me? Someone had just come along and made this awesome bridge to the world but you couldn't actually go anywhere on it. What a bummer. I was really turned on for some reason too. Maybe the world does that to me. Then I woke up.
