"...but the wanderers seem to have lost the impulse to make durable habitations. What did they have? The answer comes out in the poems: gold. Whenever an Anglo-Saxon poet wants to put into words his ideal of a good society he speaks of gold.




There once many a man
Mood-glad, gold bright, of gleams garnished
Flushed with wine-pride, flashing war-gear,
Gazed on wrought gemstones, on gold, on silver,
On wealth held and hoarded, on light-filled amber
