Voltron: Initial Impression

Currently (finally) watching Voltron and I’m really enjoying it so far. The characters are really fun, the designs are great, and the animation is pretty good too. I’m throwing my dice in the hunch that the animation production company behind Legend of Korra was maybe connected? Deigns and animation style seem similar anyway....

Though Miltonic writing is outside of the purview of medievalism, strictly speaking, I feel that the period is close enough that it warrants inclusion as part of a generalized study. And, why there are a few pieces on the Classical world. But today, we are heading back to the…

Initial Impression of Doer Fundamentally, Deor is about the attempt to reconcile loss. It’s six stanzas communicate a different extrapolation of negativity; in order: Weland and his exile, the death of Beadohild brother, the legendary love of Mӕthild, the rule of Theodric, the cruel Goth king Ermanaric, and finally, the speaker himself, Doer, who once a scop (or, said again, a bard) was replaced by a more talented poet and reciter.

Initial Impression of the Finnesburh Fragment This piece of poetry is fascinating in that its events are recorded in Beowulf. Specifically, in Beowulf, there is a digression which makes direct reference to this poem’s contents, of how Hengest succeeded leadership of the Danes after the death of Hnӕf.
