Unknown. Eadwacer

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or eadwacer:

    It is the unknown that excites the ardor of scholars, who, in the known alone, would shrivel up with boredom.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Wulf, my Wulf! Waiting for you
    has made me ill, your seldom coming,
    this sorrowing mood—not lack of meat.
    Do you hear, Eadwacer? Our poor whelp
    a wolf bears off to the wood.
    —Unknown. Eadwacer (l. 13–17)
