Translations of three (mediaeval English) poems. I enjoyed "Sir Orfeo"; was a little less enthused about "Gawain" but got into it eventually. The real revelation of this collection for me, however, was "Pearl". I'd heard of it before, and it's the one I expected to like the least. It's an incredibly religious poem, and I am incredibly not-religious, but subject matter aside there are passages of such beauty in it that I've gone back to this poem several times over the past few days, just to read them again. ('O Pearl!' said I, 'in pearls arrayed, / Are you my pearl whose loss I mourn?')
