    Promt: Compare the two versions of The Seafarer by Raffel and Pound and give reasoning for why one is a better translation‚ in terms of preserving the Anglo-Saxon poetic tradition and the overall feel of the poem. It would not be possible to translate The Seafarer perfectly‚ keeping all of its patently Anglo-Saxon poetic devices intact. Because much of their poetic tradition involves the sounds of the words themselves‚ unless there were similar-sounding synonyms in modern English for each there

The theme of these two poems are closely related that it would make sense that the authors could have known each other’s stories and were writing them to have similar structure and purpose. The three major comparisons that I mostly captured from both poems are exile‚ abandoned mead-halls‚ and the ending

    missionaries arrived in Britain. They spread quickly‚ influenced in agricultural. In “The Seafarer” and Beowulf poem‚ I learned that Christian religion was one of the biggest cultural values expressed in Anglo-Saxon literature.

    I think Caspar Friedrich’s Wanderer above the Sea of Fog‚ the first painting‚ is a depiction of the unforeseeable nature of the future.
