The warriors slept, those that should have held that horned-hall, all but one. It was known to men that the relentless, sinful ravager could not drag men under shadow, when the Ruler did not will it, but he (Beowulf) waited, watching in wrathful anger, swollen-minded with the thought of battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then he <strong>CAME<\/strong> from the <strong>marsh<\/strong>, Grendel went under misty slopes; he bore the anger of God. The <strong>mean, man-shaped ravager of men <\/strong>intended to seize one of mankind in that high hall. He went under the clouds to there, where he knew the wine-house was, the golden hall of men, most clearly coated with adornments. That was not the first time that he sought the home of Hro\u00f0gar. Never had he, before or after, in the days of his life found the hall-thanes with such hard luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He then <strong>CAME<\/strong> to the <strong>hall<\/strong>, the <strong>man<\/strong> journeyed, bereft of joys. The doors, fastened with fire-forged bolts, immediately sprung open after he touched it with his hands; then he (Grendel) was swollen (with rage), when the evil-minded one tore open the mouth of the hall. Quickly after that, the enemy trod on the decorated floor, he went angry-minded. An unfair light shown from his eyes, most like a flame.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grendel&#039;s Haunting Approach - Richard Fahey&#039;s Translation by Medieval Studies Research Blog\" width=\"525\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1149085327&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=788&#038;maxwidth=525\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beowulf, 702-727: Com on wanre nihtscri\u00f0an sceadugenga. &nbsp;&nbsp; Sceotend sw\u00e6fon,\u00fea \u00fe\u00e6t hornreced &nbsp;&nbsp; healdan scoldon,ealle buton anum. &nbsp;&nbsp; \u00de\u00e6t w\u00e6s yldum cu\u00fe\u00fe\u00e6t hie ne moste, &nbsp;&nbsp; \u00fea metod nolde,se synsca\u00fea &nbsp;&nbsp; under sceadu bregdan,ac he w\u00e6ccende &nbsp;&nbsp; wra\u00feum on andanbad bolgenmod &nbsp;&nbsp; beadwa ge\u00feinges. \u00d0a com of more &nbsp;&nbsp; under misthleo\u00feumGrendel gongan, &nbsp;&nbsp; godes yrre &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/grendels-haunting-approach-in-beowulf\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Grendel&#8217;s Haunting March on Heorot <em>Beowulf<\/em>&#8220;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1886,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8095","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1886"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8095"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8155,"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8095\/revisions\/8155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.nd.edu\/manuscript-studies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
