    1. A man of celebrity, mindful of rhythms,Who ancient traditions treasured in memory,New word-groups found properly bound:The bard after ’gan then Beowulf’s venture

      It is interesting that the bard immediately turns Bewulf's battle into a new song, showing how people perserved heroes's deeds and history through oral poetry.

    2. And many a martial mere-thane attendingSank to his slumber. Seemed it unlikelyThat ever thereafter any should hope toBe happy at home, hero-friends visitOr the lordly troop-castle where he lived from his childhood;

      It troubles me that the warriors think thay will never return home alive. Their deep fear create a sad atmosphere before the battle.

    3. His armor of iron off him he did then,His helmet from his head, to his henchman committedHis chased-handled chain-sword, choicest of weapons,And bade him bide with his battle-equipments.

      I am suprised that Beowulf takes off his armor and sword before fighting a moster.

    1. It depends in my opinion. Many variables with this company and what you seek as well as preferences. Do you want a three bank typewriter? I would go with an Erika 2 for a three bank typewriter. Do you want a more modern typewriter? Perhaps an Erika 10 is a good choice.  Do you want a certain font? Maybe Fraktur? (Good luck finding one for cheap however) Erika 5 would be a good choice for fonts maybe. Do you want a rare and collectable model? Go with an Erika 20. They have basket shift too. I would personally avoid the newer models, such as the Erika 50. They aren't great in my preference, but you decide! There are many different models for different people, but the main company that produced Erikas, which is Seidel & Naumann, also created the "Ideal" brand of typewriters. S&N is responsible for a lot of typewriters.

    1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmita

      During shmita, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law).

      The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: שמיטה, literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shǝvi'it (שביעית‎, literally "seventh"), or "Sabbath of The Land", is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.
