The English language is full of nondescript‚ emotionless words that fail to convey any meaningful feelings. To get around this shortcoming many old English writers like the one that wrote Beowulf use kennings to create an emotionally evocative word with the meaning of the emotionless word.

Poet’s Effective Use of Kennings As I sit here reading Seamus Heaney’s modern translation of “Beowulf”‚ I realize what the poet is trying to portray and how he portrays it.
