On transitions
Today is the autumn equinox, which Old English speakers called emniht. Emniht is itself a shortening of the longer form, efennihte, though I am only aware of one instance of the longer form (in an Anglo-Saxon abridgement of De Natura Rerum by the venerable Bede). This is the official shift from the long days and short nights of summer to the approach of winter. From there will be more dark than light, and more night that day, until the solstice, or sunn-stede.
New Project!
I had intended to start a new project in my Old English work. After making some progress toward it that I could show off in style, I'd then tell everyone about it. When my thesis theatre was new and fresh, I had told people I'd do something in the "poetry everybody knows and loves for the extremely specific value of everyone that includes Old English poetry enthusiasts" genre. Maybe "The Seafarer" or "The Wanderer" or "The Ruin". They're loved for a reason. Of course this also means they're pretty thoroughly researched and widely available, but I'm not trying to break fabulous new ground here, I'm trying to make things accessible in an enjoyable way.
