A riddle
by Lexgrad Sat Dec 08, 2012 2:46 pm
Now no real secret I go nuts for things saxon and one of their things is hobbit like riddles. Someone posted this one and I thought I would share.
Enjoy.
Nis min sele swige, ne ic sylfa hlud
ymb dryhtsele; unc dryhten scop
siþ ætsomme. Ic eom swiftra þonne he,
þragum strengram he þreohtigra.
Hwilum ic me rest; he sceal rinnan forð.
Ic him in wunige ā þenden ic life;
gif wit unc gedælað, me bið deað witod
My soul is not silent, nor am I myself loud
around splendid hall; us two the Lord created
at the same time. I am faster than he,
at times he is the stronger enduring.
When I rest myself, he runs forth.
I dwell in him all the time I live;
if we two are separated, I will die.
Enjoy.

I too go nuts for all things Anglo-Saxon...
I know the answer because I'm a nerd, not because I worked it out. I'll refrain from posting it though so other people can have a go!
