Those “rapturous words” oh to sit and hear him explain more. A fine pause you’ve provided. Thanks for sharing these three posts they have connected me to meaningful meditations. I was grateful to find the prayer at the end of the Seafarer that I used this last Sunday in a memorial for a friend. It fit perfectly. In gathering those thoughts I came across this delicious video about the Exeter Cathedral https://youtu.be/mxK-GTo-9tM?si=hqXKFi72Um0fJln2
Yes, it would have been great to listen to Tolkien talk about more Old English works. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, I am glad that some of those words could be a good fit for the moment. Thanks for sharing the video, God bless
Wow, Cody! This was such a beautiful and moving post! I think I'd only read the first stanza before (in the context of Tolkien fandom), but that second stanza got me choked up! I have a particular devotion to praying the Benedictus, so that connection and the elevated tone of the poem truly moved me and swept me away. Thank you for sharing!

A good option is listening to Malcolm Guite on YouTube. 🔥
