ALL I EVER SOUGHT IN LIFE
WAS TO EXPERIENCE AFFECTION.

AS A CHILD - A LITTLE ONE,
I WAS SHY.
FOR WHICH, OTHER CHILDREN BULLIED ME.

ond ge-metfæst on mín worde,
hine þa ealle hospeted mec.
ic besċēawode eall mancynn as grimm.
I REGARDED ALL PEOPLE AS CRUEL.
æt nigontíen wintres, ic þæs woruld
forleton. ond þa for þan þingum,
hine þa ealle láðedon mec.
BY THE AGE OF 19, I FORSOOK THE WORLD
AND FOR THAT, THEY HATED ME.
-
swigian ... ic secan swīgiġe.
ic ne dríege þone dyne.
hwilc ungerádan chafiaþ.
I DESPISE NOISE.
WHICH IS WHAT THE VULGAR CRAVE.

THE GREATEST PART OF MANKIND
ARE DECEIVED, AND SEDUCED, WITH LIES
THROUGH WHICH, THEY RUIN THEMSELVES.
-
hí trūwiende hwá
be leásum gewitum forleógan.
þæge wil ne behyġe ær gelifen.
THEY WILL NOT THINK BEFORE BELIEVING.

wīdmǣrsungum beorg ðé.
