was in her hand.

hands. "Not with the humour of hunters. Or savage skill in war, But ordering all things with dead
words, Strings shall they make of beasts and birds, And wheels of wind and star. "They shall
come mild as monkish clerks, With many a scroll and pen; And backward shall ye turn and
gaze,Desiring one of Alfred's days, When pagans still were men. Future paganism will be
recognised by signs.
