Squirrel in a tree
Quirky as can be
Unaware of me
It sits where I can see
Resting, watch it stir
Rustling, fuzzy fur
Energetic whir
Leaves in a blur.
Uhhhhh what the heck does the first part mean.
Anglo-Saxons liked to gather in the lord's great hall, to eat and drink, and to listen to songs and stories. They loved tales about brave warriors and their adventures. A favourite story told how Beowulf, a heroic prince, kills the fierce man-eating monster Grendel, and Grendel's equally horrid mother. The story of Beowulf was first written down in the 8th-9th centuries, but long before that the story was told around the fire. The storyteller played music to accompany the songs and poems, on a small harp or on another stringed instrument called a lyre
The two senteces that most clearly describe historical elements are:
"Then, amid a murmur of laughter and jeers from the Roman benches immediately before him, he began to sing."
"It was all simple and childlike, but it went to the hearts of the Olympians, for it spoke of the land which they knew and loved."
