fbharjo There is a word in Old English which
belongs wholly to that civilisation—
“dustsceawung,” meaning contemplation
of dust. It is a true image of the Anglo-
Saxon mind, or at least an echo of that
consciousness which considered
transience and loss to be part of the human
estate; it was a world in which life was
uncertain and the principal deity was fate
or destiny or “wyrd.”
