       For Annie

      The present life of man, O King, seems to me like to the swift flight of a sparrow through the great ­mead-­hall wherein you sit at supper in winter, with the warm fire ablaze, whilst the storms of rain and snow prevail abroad; the sparrow, I say, flying in at one door, and immediately out at another, once more into the dark winter.

      So this life of man appears for a little while, but of what went before, or what is to follow, we are utterly ignorant. If, therefore, this new teaching contains something more certain, it seems justly deserving to be followed.

      —A chief counselor to ­Anglo-­Saxon king Edwin in 6271
