He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in ?Beowulf? and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.
Beowulf, the oldest British literature ever discovered, is a heroic myth about the legendary experience of the warrior Beowulf. In Beowulf, the joy of success was transient. In the first battle against Grendel, Beowulf took one arm of Grendel and hung it h...

Seamus Heaney 凭本译文荣获诺奖无可厚非。虽然不得不牺牲部分古英语中日耳曼复合词的头韵，但复合辞喻的改写都极具生命力，这样的语言令人敬畏，这是跨语种翻译难以实现的。

Epic for a rainy day, which, one would imagine, has gone into mourning for the death of the king.

第一首古英文诗。那时候的King果然有魄力。

一开始读的是Burton Raffel的译本，比这个通俗易懂些，但是大赏朗读起来气势是不足与这本的，诺顿收录的也是这个译本。读史诗需要耐性，也需要在文邹邹的句子里找到共鸣或者可研究切口，我觉得这对我来说真的很难（本吉吉国王真的读不下去(´Д` )

读到恶龙这段的时候突然想起来霍比特人的情节，才记起托尔金说过自己的创作受贝奥武夫的启发。可能我的英语语感不强，诗歌读的也少，贝奥武夫的韵律确实没太感受到，有时读起来感觉像散文体。古英语读不懂，但看起来好像很工整。
