'...but for beauty this would be a woeful world.'

Posted by cmgaylard on July 25, 2009 at 5:00 PM

Sutton Hoo is an ancient Anglo Saxon burial ground. The mounds were excavated in the early part of the 20th C. Headline: 'Pirate Treasures Goes To A Woman' and why not.Complex craftsmanship in the ornament and armour and a fine mock helmet for the kids to handle and wear. Quotes from Beowulf & original sources, my favourite from a hard people: 'We feast on beauty as we feast on food, but for beauty this would be a woeful world.'
