The Ruin, Anonymous Old English Poem, trans R.M. Liuzza

haustafallFollow

This poem is commonly thought to be about the city of Bath in England! Bath is famous for its natural hot springs and waters said to have healing properties; the hot springs have been in use since pre-Roman times. During the Roman occupation of Britain, the Romans built a huge bathhouse around the natural heated water source dedicated to Minerva—the site was called Aquae Sulis.

Once the Romans withdrew from Britain, sites like Aquae Sulis were left to decay and crumble. The ruins of the bathhouse would have been incredibly impressive for an Old English poet to look upon; remember that these were the Dark Ages for Britain because so so much knowledge was lost, gone with the leaving of the Romans and the slow degradation of craftsmanship, of architecture, as development fell into a rut. They did not know how to build things like the Roman bathhouse any more. That knowledge was gone.

So when the poet looks up to that “bright capital of a broad kingdom”, he is not only seeing the loss of a civilisation but the loss of knowledge. He is looking back at what he would have seen as a golden past—ruins of buildings built as if by giants—knowing these were his ancestors. Knowing he could not replicate what they had made.

I went searching in the notes for this explanation so I wouldn’t have to write one out for myself! we have a different translation in a book. Today, bath is a famed and characterful city and a UNESCO World Heritage site; you can visit the remains of the Roman bath and have a spa day at the still-boiling hot springs. It makes you realize how history is so big. Empires rise and fall; this poet, in Old English, grappled with that in his time as we will grapple with ours. The hot springs remain. The earth continues. The stones are so golden.

Also, and this has been thoroughly pointed out by various scholars— there’s something interesting and, in a bittersweet way, appealing about the way that this poem, which is about an ancient ruin, is now from our perspective also ancient, also ruined. A poem that mourns something lost to time is itself lost to time — the missing words cannot be recovered.

The manuscript looks like this:

The going theory, as I understand it, is that someone set a hot iron on the Exeter Book — the manuscript that contains the only copy of this poem and many others — sometime in the medieval period. Today, the Exeter Book is arguably one of the most important manuscripts in the English language, a foundational source for English literature pre-1066. But it’s got all sorts of random damage that points to a period of time where it was treated as “convenient large flat object”, possibly because the people who owned it at one point could no longer read the archaic language and therefore didn’t really see it as useful or important.

The burn is the most egregious of this damage, and it’s oddly resonant that “The Ruin” is included in the burnt pages.

#rolling my eyes at the part that is like middle ages = dark ages#the juxtaposition of present & past and the reflections on how everything (even beauty and great achievements!) must come to an end one day#as well as the preoccupation with great civilisations of the past that have since fallen into decay#these are just fundamentally human thoughts & sentiments in my opinion#and you find them in many cultures and at many times throughout history#they are not exactly unique or restricted to people in early medieval england bc everything was so terrible and dark (tm) back then#(not to mention the possible allegorical reading of the poem)#but the rest of this post is beautiful <3 (via @notajoinerofthings)

I could have just gone ahead and done an avatar drawing like usual, BUT WHY DO SOMETHING SIMPLE when I could be too ambitious and make spooky pngtubers for him & fivetail!?!?!
