Squee!
Guess what I just found in my Old English book?
Eala earendel, engla beorhtast
ofer middangeard monnum sended....
It's the beginning of an Advent lyric, but STILL!
(For you non-Tolkien bods out there, this is where Himself found the word 'earendel,' which became the name Earendil. The lines say, "Hail morning star [Earendil], brightest of angels / over Middle-earth sent unto men.")
Now to see whether any of the other Tolkienisti in the class pick up on it....
