Excerpt from The Poetry of the Codex Vercellensis: With an English Translation
It will well repay the pains to read Grimm's excellent remarks upon this class of words in the introduction to Andreas und Elene; he has collected together from all the Anglosaxon poems the principal expressions for the occurrences of warfare and seafaring, and the superstitious veneration for certain natural phaenomena, such as day and night, sunrise, sunset, storms, dreams and death. He has himself shown the heathen character of these expressions, and the epic nature of others which continually occur in some of the poems. Into this long subject I will not now follow him, but earnestly recommend this and all his works to all who wish to study Anglosaxon in earnest; my business will be to embody in the glossarial notes to this volume the more important of his results, as the occasion arises to notice.
