Old English Riddle
A moth, I thogh, munching a word.How marvellously weird! a wormDigesting a mans sayings - A sneakthief nibbling in the shadowsAt the shape of a poet`s thunderous phrases - How unutterably strange!And the pilfering parasite none the wiserFor the words he has swallowed.from THE EXETER BOOK
