Old English literature
Old English literature (sometimes referred to as Anglo-Saxon literature) encompasses literature written in Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon) in Anglo-Saxon England from the 7th century to the decades after the Norman Conquest of 1066. "Cædmon's Hymn", composed in the 7th century according to Bede, is often considered the oldest extant poem in English, whereas the later poem, The Grave is one of the final poems written in Old English, and presents a transitional text between Old and Middle English. Likewise, the Peterborough Chronicle continues until the 12th century.
The poem Beowulf, which often begins the traditional canon of English literature, is the most famous work of Old English literature. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has also proven significant for historical study, preserving a chronology of early English history.
In descending order of quantity, Old English literature consists of: sermons and saints' lives; biblical translations; translated Latin works of the early Church Fathers; Anglo-Saxon chronicles and narrative history works; laws, wills and other legal works; practical works on grammar, medicine, geography; and poetry. In all there are over 400 surviving manuscripts from the period, of which about 189 are considered "major".

Old English
Old English (Ænglisc, Anglisc, Englisc) or Anglo-Saxon is the earliest historical form of the English language, spoken in England and southern and eastern Scotland in the early Middle Ages. It was brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers probably in the mid 5th century, and the first Old English literary works date from the mid 7th century. After the Norman Conquest of 1066, English was replaced for a time as the language of the upper classes by Anglo-Norman, a relative of French, and Old English developed into the next historical form of English, known as Middle English.
Old English developed from a set of Anglo-Frisian or North Sea Germanic dialects originally spoken by Germanic tribes traditionally known as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. As the Anglo-Saxons became dominant in England, their language replaced the languages of Roman Britain: Common Brittonic, a Celtic language, and Latin, brought to Britain by Roman invasion. Old English had four main dialects, associated with particular Anglo-Saxon kingdoms: Mercian, Northumbrian, Kentish and West Saxon. It was West Saxon that formed the basis for the literary standard of the later Old English period, although the dominant forms of Middle and Modern English would develop mainly from Mercian. The speech of eastern and northern parts of England was subject to strong Old Norse influence due to Scandinavian rule and settlement beginning in the 9th century.

Olde English 800
Olde English 800 is a brand of American malt liquor produced by the Miller Brewing Company. It was introduced in 1964 and owned by Miller Brewing Company since 1999. It is available in a variety of serving sizes including, since the late 1980s, a forty ounce (1.183-litre) bottle.
History
Introduction
Olde English 800 was introduced in 1964. It had its origins in the late 1940s as Ruff's Olde English Stout, brewed by Peoples Brewing Company of Duluth, Minnesota. Rebranded Olde English 600, it was later sold to Bohemian Breweries of Spokane, Washington, and then to Blitz-Weinhard of Portland, Oregon, where it became Olde English 800. By the time Blitz-Weinhard was sold to Pabst Brewing Company in 1979, Olde English Malt Liquor had become their top brand.
1980s
In August 1989, when the brand was owned by Pabst and targeted by the brewer towards the "urban contemporary market", a coalition of "22 public interest groups involved in minority issues" criticized the marketing of Olde English — which as a malt liquor has a high alcohol content in comparison with most beers — for what they characterized as an "emphasis on black and Hispanic consumers."

Old English (Ireland)
The Old English (Irish: Seanghaill, meaning "old foreigners") were the descendants of the settlers who came to Ireland from Wales, Normandy, and England after the Norman invasion of Ireland in 1169–71. The term is generally used by scholars for residents of The Pale and Irish towns after the mid-16th century, who became increasingly opposed to the Protestant "New English" who arrived in Ireland after the Tudor conquest of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries. Many of the Old English were dispossessed in the political and religious conflicts of the 16th and 17th centuries, largely due to their continued adherence to the Roman Catholic religion. As a result the distinction between "Old English" and "Native Irish" largely disappeared by 1700, as they were both equally barred from positions of wealth and power by the so-called New English settlers, who became known as the Protestant Ascendancy.
The earliest known reference to the term "Old English" is in the 1580s The community of Norman descent prior to then used numerous epithets to describe themselves (such as "Englishmen born in Ireland" or "English-Irish"), but it was only as a result of the political cess crisis of the 1580s that a group identifying itself as the Old English community actually emerged.

English poetry
This article focuses on poetry written in English from the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland (and Ireland before 1922). However, though the whole of Ireland was politically part of the United Kingdom between January 1801 and December 1922, it is controversial to describe Irish literature as British. For some this includes works by authors from Northern Ireland. The article does not include poetry from other countries where the English language is spoken.
The earliest surviving English poetry, written in Anglo-Saxon, the direct predecessor of modern English, may have been composed as early as the 7th century.
The earliest English poetry
The earliest known English poem is a hymn on the creation; Bede attributes this to Cædmon (fl. 658–680), who was, according to legend, an illiterate herdsman who produced extemporaneous poetry at a monastery at Whitby. This is generally taken as marking the beginning of Anglo-Saxon poetry.
Much of the poetry of the period is difficult to date, or even to arrange chronologically; for example, estimates for the date of the great epic Beowulf range from AD 608 right through to AD 1000, and there has never been anything even approaching a consensus. It is possible to identify certain key moments, however. The Dream of the Rood was written before circa AD 700, when excerpts were carved in runes on the Ruthwell Cross. Some poems on historical events, such as The Battle of Brunanburh (937) and The Battle of Maldon (991), appear to have been composed shortly after the events in question, and can be dated reasonably precisely in consequence.

WANDERER | The Profound Anglo-Saxon Poem that Tolkien Used in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
J.R.R. Tolkien did something in the Lord of the Rings that no one else has been able to replicate. He made a fictional world that feels real. How was he able to do this? What makes him stand out among writers is that he was not a writer, first and foremost. He was a scholar—one of the truly great scholars of the Middle Ages. Most of his time was spent not writing novels but as a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford, breaking ground in those fields, and translating numerous Medieval works including Beowulf. Hemingway once wrote that, “A good writer should know as near everything as possible.” And that was true of Tolkien, at least when it came to the Middle Ages.

When You Are Old - W. B. Yeats read by Cillian Murphy | Powerful Life Poetry
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet. - Plato When You Are Old by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. #poetry #love

William Shakespeare Poems - Beautiful Love Poetry
Read by Shane Morris This video aims to bring the sonnets: 18, 29, 116 and 130, of William Shakespeare, to life. William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and one of the most important figures in world literature. He was born in 1564, and died in 1616. Sonnet 18 is one of the most famous and beloved sonnets written by William Shakespeare. Throughout the sonnet, Shakespeare uses vivid imagery to convey the beauty of the person he is addressing. He compares them to a "summer's day," but then goes on to explain why they are actually more beautiful and desirable than anything found in nature. Sonnet 29 by William Shakespeare is one of the most well-known sonnets of the 154 that he wrote. The s...

J.R.R. Tolkien did something in the Lord of the Rings that no one else has been able to replicate. He made a fictional world that feels real. How was he able to do this?
What makes him stand out among writers is that he was not a writer, first and foremost. He was a scholar—one of the truly great scholars of the Middle Ages. Most of his time was spent not writing novels but as a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford, breaking ground in those fields, and translating numerous Medieval works including Beowulf. Hemingway once wrote that, “A good writer should know as near everything as possible.” And that was true of Tolkien, at least when it came to the Middle Ages. He had a pervasive knowledge of historical facts, cultures, and of human beings, especially of the Medieval flavor. Tolkien had a higher dosage of reality than most of us, and was therefore able to incorporate a high dose of reality into his fictional novels.
There’s no better example of this than the Anglo-Saxon poem called The Wanderer, A poem Tolkien loved, studied, translated, and even quoted from during a valedictory address. Composed orally somewhere around the 5th or 6th century by an anonymous poet, It’s about a medieval warrior who, as the name implies, is forced to wander the earth because his people have been defeated in battle and Completely wiped out. His friends are slaughtered and his lord is slain. His home is destroyed. He has nowhere to return to or live. He is forced to travel, to wander the earth. He is a broken man. And this poem captures that sense of brokenness magnificently. Psychologically speaking, It’s a shockingly sophisticated poem. We can think of it in terms of the stages of medieval grief:
1. Isolation-Repression
2. Dream-Fantasy
3. Sadness-Depression
4. Acceptance-Wisdom
5. Disorientation-Confusion
6. Piety-Courage
We should study The Wanderer to gain an understanding of grief. One weakness of modern psychology (it seems to me) is that it is too limited: it studies modern people, primarily. Thus it mistakes the working of the modern mind as the working of the human mind as such. But by studying ancient texts like The Wanderer, texts that pour out such raw humanity, we see just different human beings can be from one another.
We see their VALUES.
‘The Wanderer’ provides us with an example—a historical artifact, an unarguable fact—that someone, somewhere, at some point in time, found stability and fulfillment, and possibly a great deal of happiness, in submitting himself to a lord. It is a fact that it is possible for someone to have a profound love for his lord, to submit and serve because he wants to, not because he has to. Kings are not always tyrants, submission is not always oppression, liberalism is not necessary to happiness, feudalism may be a very upsetting thing to lose.
Many writers cannot break free from the modern ethos. When they write about other worlds, they feel like the modern West. The values, the behavior, the spirit are all the same. But Tolkien was able to capture the medieval ethos and work it into his stories. That's what makes him different.
When people talk about world-building, the emphasis is often on bulk and quantity: creating more languages, more ornate magic systems, more backstory and genealogies, more character arcs. Tolkien is notorious for such things, and indeed is considered the father of modern fantasy for not only pioneering this level of world-building but also making it work. But when Tolkien added to Middle Earth, he added old things, not new things. He added things from our real world, from the sweating, suffering, crying, feeling real life of the Middle Ages. When he wrote, he wrote in styles and rhythms that correspond to the real prose and poetry of ages past. His books are a thousand years deep the moment he drafts them. When you enter Edoras, you enter not a completely new land but a very familiar one: you enter Anglo-Saxon England. And What was said of Aragorn is true: “It seems that you are come on the wings of song out of the forgotten days.” He does come out of forgotten days, and The same is true of all Tolkien’s characters. They come on the wings of song, and that song is The Wanderer.

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet. - Plato
When You Are Old by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

This video aims to bring the sonnets: 18, 29, 116 and 130, of William Shakespeare, to life. William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and one of the most important figures in world literature. He was born in 1564, and died in 1616.
Sonnet 18 is one of the most famous and beloved sonnets written by William Shakespeare. Throughout the sonnet, Shakespeare uses vivid imagery to convey the beauty of the person he is addressing. He compares them to a "summer's day," but then goes on to explain why they are actually more beautiful and desirable than anything found in nature.
Sonnet 29 by William Shakespeare is one of the most well-known sonnets of the 154 that he wrote. The speaker begins by expressing his sadness and despair, feeling alone and outcast from society. Finally, in the couplet, the speaker acknowledges that the love he shares with his beloved is enough to make him feel as though he is "wealthy" and "contented." He recognizes that his love is a gift from heaven, and he feels blessed to have it. In this way, the sonnet ends on a hopeful note, with the speaker finding solace in the love he shares with another person.
Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare is a classic love sonnet that presents the idea of true love as an unchanging force that is not swayed by external circumstances. Shakespeare argues that true love is not subject to the whims of time or circumstance, and that it persists even in the face of adversity.
Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare is a poem that subverts traditional love poetry by rejecting exaggerated comparisons and clichéd metaphors in favor of a more realistic and honest portrayal of his mistress. Instead of praising her with over-the-top comparisons to natural beauty or otherworldly beings, Shakespeare describes her with human qualities, acknowledging her imperfections and flaws.
The poem in this video is narrated by Shane Morris (an award winning voice actor). We took care to edit the audio as perfectly as we can.
We believe that there is wisdom in these historic texts. We are very hesitant in creating video's with different moving backgrounds, because we believe it might contradict the wisdom that is displayed in the text. We hope you appreciate the effort!

J.R.R. Tolkien did something in the Lord of the Rings that no one else has been able to replicate. He made a fictional world that feels real. How was he able to do this?
What makes him stand out among writers is that he was not a writer, first and foremost. He was a scholar—one of the truly great scholars of the Middle Ages. Most of his time was spent not writing novels but as a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford, breaking ground in those fields, and translating numerous Medieval works including Beowulf. Hemingway once wrote that, “A good writer should know as near everything as possible.” And that was true of Tolkien, at least when it came to the Middle Ages. He had a pervasive knowledge of historical facts, cultures, and of human beings, especially of the Medieval flavor. Tolkien had a higher dosage of reality than most of us, and was therefore able to incorporate a high dose of reality into his fictional novels.
There’s no better example of this than the Anglo-Saxon poem called The Wanderer, A poem Tolkien loved, studied, translated, and even quoted from during a valedictory address. Composed orally somewhere around the 5th or 6th century by an anonymous poet, It’s about a medieval warrior who, as the name implies, is forced to wander the earth because his people have been defeated in battle and Completely wiped out. His friends are slaughtered and his lord is slain. His home is destroyed. He has nowhere to return to or live. He is forced to travel, to wander the earth. He is a broken man. And this poem captures that sense of brokenness magnificently. Psychologically speaking, It’s a shockingly sophisticated poem. We can think of it in terms of the stages of medieval grief:
1. Isolation-Repression
2. Dream-Fantasy
3. Sadness-Depression
4. Acceptance-Wisdom
5. Disorientation-Confusion
6. Piety-Courage
We should study The Wanderer to gain an understanding of grief. One weakness of modern psychology (it seems to me) is that it is too limited: it studies modern people, primarily. Thus it mistakes the working of the modern mind as the working of the human mind as such. But by studying ancient texts like The Wanderer, texts that pour out such raw humanity, we see just different human beings can be from one another.
We see their VALUES.
‘The Wanderer’ provides us with an example—a historical artifact, an unarguable fact—that someone, somewhere, at some point in time, found stability and fulfillment, and possibly a great deal of happiness, in submitting himself to a lord. It is a fact that it is possible for someone to have a profound love for his lord, to submit and serve because he wants to, not because he has to. Kings are not always tyrants, submission is not always oppression, liberalism is not necessary to happiness, feudalism may be a very upsetting thing to lose.
Many writers cannot break free from the modern ethos. When they write about other worlds, they feel like the modern West. The values, the behavior, the spirit are all the same. But Tolkien was able to capture the medieval ethos and work it into his stories. That's what makes him different.
When people talk about world-building, the emphasis is often on bulk and quantity: creating more languages, more ornate magic systems, more backstory and genealogies, more character arcs. Tolkien is notorious for such things, and indeed is considered the father of modern fantasy for not only pioneering this level of world-building but also making it work. But when Tolkien added to Middle Earth, he added old things, not new things. He added things from our real world, from the sweating, suffering, crying, feeling real life of the Middle Ages. When he wrote, he wrote in styles and rhythms that correspond to the real prose and poetry of ages past. His books are a thousand years deep the moment he drafts them. When you enter Edoras, you enter not a completely new land but a very familiar one: you enter Anglo-Saxon England. And What was said of Aragorn is true: “It seems that you are come on the wings of song out of the forgotten days.” He does come out of forgotten days, and The same is true of all Tolkien’s characters. They come on the wings of song, and that song is The Wanderer.

Lukas Papenfusscline performs Cædmon's Hymn, a poem composed by Cædmon, an illiterate cow-herder who was able to sing in honour of God the Creator, using words that he had never heard before. The work was passed down from a Latin translation by Bede in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People. It was composed between 658 and 680 and is the oldest recorded Old English poem.

Modern English text:
Now [we] must honor the guardian of heaven,
the might of the architect, and his purpose,
the work of the father of glory
as he, the eternal lord, established the beginning of wonders;
he first created for the children of men
heaven as a roof, the holy creator
Then the guardian of mankind,
the eternal lord, afterwards appointed the middle earth,
the lands for men, the Lord almighty.

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet. - Plato
When You Are Old by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

This video aims to bring the sonnets: 18, 29, 116 and 130, of William Shakespeare, to life. William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language and one of the most important figures in world literature. He was born in 1564, and died in 1616.
Sonnet 18 is one of the most famous and beloved sonnets written by William Shakespeare. Throughout the sonnet, Shakespeare uses vivid imagery to convey the beauty of the person he is addressing. He compares them to a "summer's day," but then goes on to explain why they are actually more beautiful and desirable than anything found in nature.
Sonnet 29 by William Shakespeare is one of the most well-known sonnets of the 154 that he wrote. The speaker begins by expressing his sadness and despair, feeling alone and outcast from society. Finally, in the couplet, the speaker acknowledges that the love he shares with his beloved is enough to make him feel as though he is "wealthy" and "contented." He recognizes that his love is a gift from heaven, and he feels blessed to have it. In this way, the sonnet ends on a hopeful note, with the speaker finding solace in the love he shares with another person.
Sonnet 116 by William Shakespeare is a classic love sonnet that presents the idea of true love as an unchanging force that is not swayed by external circumstances. Shakespeare argues that true love is not subject to the whims of time or circumstance, and that it persists even in the face of adversity.
Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare is a poem that subverts traditional love poetry by rejecting exaggerated comparisons and clichéd metaphors in favor of a more realistic and honest portrayal of his mistress. Instead of praising her with over-the-top comparisons to natural beauty or otherworldly beings, Shakespeare describes her with human qualities, acknowledging her imperfections and flaws.
The poem in this video is narrated by Shane Morris (an award winning voice actor). We took care to edit the audio as perfectly as we can.
We believe that there is wisdom in these historic texts. We are very hesitant in creating video's with different moving backgrounds, because we believe it might contradict the wisdom that is displayed in the text. We hope you appreciate the effort!

Old English literature
Old English literature (sometimes referred to as Anglo-Saxon literature) encompasses literature written in Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon) in Anglo-Saxon England from the 7th century to the decades after the Norman Conquest of 1066. "Cædmon's Hymn", composed in the 7th century according to Bede, is often considered the oldest extant poem in English, whereas the later poem, The Grave is one of the final poems written in Old English, and presents a transitional text between Old and Middle English. Likewise, the Peterborough Chronicle continues until the 12th century.
The poem Beowulf, which often begins the traditional canon of English literature, is the most famous work of Old English literature. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has also proven significant for historical study, preserving a chronology of early English history.
In descending order of quantity, Old English literature consists of: sermons and saints' lives; biblical translations; translated Latin works of the early Church Fathers; Anglo-Saxon chronicles and narrative history works; laws, wills and other legal works; practical works on grammar, medicine, geography; and poetry. In all there are over 400 surviving manuscripts from the period, of which about 189 are considered "major".
