Reprint, with slight alteration of title, of translated passage of Beowulf (ll. 210-24a) as published in 1948 as item I of "Notes on Heroes (I-IV)." Outside of the title, changes are confined to punctuation.
The translated passage begins:
Then the time came when the boat was on the tide,
the ship under the shore-cliffs. Sailors eagerly
flocked to the forecastle. Folded in combers,
sand rolled in seawater. (13)
And ends:
so that the seafarers sighted the mainland,
sea-cliffs shining, steep elevations,
high wide headlands; then was the haven found,
the ocean-passage over. . . . (13, ellipsis in original)
This collected version not in MO2.
BAM.
