Gosh. Amil brings up Dante and the conversation came to a screeching halt.

Yes, Amil. You daunted us. Or at least, you daunted me. I have never seriously attemted to read Dante.

I did read Beowulf, however. It has been many years.

Anyone read l'Morte d'Arthur? I read a version that modernized all the old English spellings, but made no attempt to modernize the grammar or word usage. It was great fun to read. I read it after reading The Once and Future King.
