Tolkien

I think that J.R.R. Tolkien is a pretty cool guy. I am reading his translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo. I have read the Silmarillion (with great interest, which is no small feat) in addition to Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. In fact, I am such a Lord of the Rings nerd that I created my own version of Tengwar to use as a secret code amongst friends.

Old English

I am currently studying Englisc through a combination of some websites I found and a big packet my grandfather, who also studied it in his youth, gave me. Although I very much wish it was a course offered in my high school, the administration has not yet learned to read my mind and/or they do not have the resources to offer one. Perhaps I will someday take a course in college. In the mean time, I shall continue my quest as a side project. I also want to try studying Middle English as well. I am a big fan of Sir Gawain.

Heading

I like headings. They are great fun.

Quotes

Pearl

Perle, pleasaunte to prynces paye
To clanly clos in golde so clere,
Oute of oryent, I hardyly saye,
Ne proued I neuer her precios pere.
So rounde, so reken in vche araye,
So smal, so smoþe her sydeȝ were,
Quere-so-euer I jugged gemmeȝ gaye,
I sette hyr sengeley in synglere.
Allas! I leste hyr in on erbere;
Þurȝ gresse to grounde hit fro me yot.
I dewyne, fordolked of luf-daungere

Of þat pryuy perle wythouten spot.

Romeo and Juliet

Iu.What diuell art thou that doſt torment me thus?
This torture ſhould berored in diſmal hell,
Hath Romeo ſlaine himſelſe? ſay thou but I,
And that bare vowel I ſhall poyſon more
Than the death arting eye of Cockatrice
I am not I, if there be ſuch an I.
Or if thoſe eyes be ſhot, that makes thee anſwere I:
If he be ſlaine ſay I, or if not, no.
Brief, ſounds, determine my weale or wo.

Nur. I ſaw the wound, I ſaw it with mine eyes,
God ſave the marke, here on his manly breſt,
A piteous coarſe, a bloudie piteous caorſe,
Pale, pale aſhes, all bedawbde in bloud,

All in goare bloud, I ſounded at the ſight.

The Princess Bride

Westley: What's so funny?
Vizzini: I-I'll tell ya in a minute. First, let's drink. Me from my glass and you from yours.

They drink, Vizzini chuckles

Westley: You guessed wrong.
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong. That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Haha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Hahahahahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha-

Falls over, dead
