This life is temporary, and this world declines and falls.

This is a practice reading sentence from my Old English grammar book, I thought it was beautiful.

Nis þæt feor heonon
milgemearces þæt se mere standeð;
ofer þæm hongiað hrinde bearwas,
wudu wyrtum fæst wæter oferhelmað.
þær mæg nihta gehwæm niðwundor seon,
fyr on flode. No þæs frod leofað
gumena bearna,

" Steams like black clouds, and the groves of trees/ Growing out over their lake are all covered/ With frozen spray, and wind down snakelike/ Roots that reach as far as the water/ And help keep it dark. At night that lake/ Burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom,/ No wisdom reaches such depths."

beowulf is the most BRUTAL olde english of all

What time is it in Puerto Rico right now? Tengo que guiarme con las horas para saber cuando puedo llamarte.

Old English is so pretty.
