Caedmon's Hymn is coming on, bit by bit. There's been some adjusting - finding a translation I'm happy with - I wanted to stick as close to the original as possible so the reader can see the progression of the English language. Also, the original 10 lines were too long for my A4 sheet so I've split them into 20 stanzas instead. I also wanted to have the modern English transliteration directly under the 7th century Northumbrian Anglo-Saxon but as there's no space decided instead to run it around the edge. I think it'll look OK. It's amazing to think that there was up to 4 languages being spoken. Caedmon was either Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-British (Deiran); Hild was also Deiran but would've spoken both, as well as Latin, which the Gospels of the monks were written in. Whereas Aidan, Hild's tutor and mentor in Lindisfarne but originating from Columba's monastery on Iona was Irish! #caedmon #sthilda #hildofwhitby #whitbyabbey #theberniciachronicles #matthewharffy #thelastkingdom #bernardcornwell #lindisfarnegospels #lindisfarne #angloceltic #anglosaxon #anglosaxonhistory #darkages #heptarchy #northernhistory #northernecho #yorkshirepost #dalesman #christianitylife #poetry #englishpoetry #englishpoetrylovers #illuminatedmanuscript #ilovepoetry #poetryforlife #illuminatedborder #insularscript #abundareuk #anthonyhodgson https://www.instagram.com/p/CP5YUPWnJ3m/?utm_medium=tumblr

Prayer of St. Hilda

Trade with the gifts God has given you. Bend your minds to holy learning, that you may escape the fretting moth of littleness of mind that would wear out your souls.

Brace your wills to action that they may not be the spoils of weak desires.

Train your hearts and lips to song which gives courage to the soul. Being buffeted by trials, learn to laugh. Being reproved, give thanks. Having failed, determine to succeed
