Then he saw, hanging on the wall. a heavy sword, hammered by giants, strong and beless with their magic,
the best of all weapons...
But so massive (the sword] that no ordinary man could lift (it)...he drew it from its scabbard...lifted it high
over his head and struck with all the strength he had left.
They spoke about Beowulf, all the graybeards, whispered together and said that hope was gone that the
hero had lost fame and his life at once and would never return to the living
Then the Geats brave prince entered Herot covered with glory for the daring battles he had fought he
sought Hrothgar to salute him and show Grendel's head.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
