Beowulf
translated by Seamus Heaney

"... seems one way for an Irish poet to come to terms
with that complex history of conquest and colony,
absorption and resistance, integrity and antagonism,
a history which has to be clearly acknowledged
by all concerned in order to render it ever more
'willable forward / Again and again and again.' "
-from the introduction by S.H.
