  • Resumen

  • This is long and late, but I wanted to do part of Tolkien's translation of Sir Orfeo, followed by a few ideas, followed by an awkward reading of the original Middle English. Forgive my poor audio (working out of office), as well as my poor reading of Middle English. When I do it well, it is very difficult for modern English speakers to understand, which isn't ideal for a podcast. I tried to split the difference, with the likely result that I did it well enough to still be difficult to follow, but poorly enough to be widely panned by people who read Middle English.

    Sir Orfeo warns, among other things, of the dangers of falling asleep under a grafted tree at noon. You're only tempting fate (and fairies) when you do things like that. Come on.

    Here's the Tolkien translation still in existence that I was able to find. Most of Tolkien's Sir Gawain translations also include Sir Orfeo.
