Tenth-century-or-earlier Old English poem Deor is great because it's just the poet going "my problems are just like when Blorbo from my legends had problems" and providing a long list of names of people in vaguely-described situations.
And then modern scholars have to read it like "we have literally barely heard of any of these guys, who even are they" because it's been a thousand years and several massive culture shifts, and some of the poet's blorbos now only survive in his references to them.
just came across this beautiful rendition of si煤il a r煤in by irish-palestinian artist roisin el cherif. this song has always been close to my heart, especially after it's use in the nightingale, a film that explores the (ongoing) colonial violence on the island that i call home.
i really love the way that she weaves the arabic language into this song, as well as the influences from both irish and palestinian styles of music.
all the proceeds of the release are being donated to the doctors without borders gaza emergency regional fund so if you love her rendition as much as i do i would really recommend purchasing it on band-camp (i've linked it above).
when you're sick you're either a prince moder or a dog moder. prince moding is when you demand many little treats, drinks etc. i personally prefer to drag myself off to a secluded corner to either die or recover, aka dog moding
