Question
A poem mostly set in this kind of place contains the hapax legomenon anfloga, which seems to be a solitary flying being that brings death. The speaker of a poem spends 102 lines reflecting on this sort of place before switching to what may be a later addition, a sermon about how “Mighty is the fear of the Measurer.” The speaker describes a lonely man suffering in this kind of place and states “Fate never wavers” at the opening of (*) “The Wanderer.” A poem partially titled for this sort of place begins “May I for my own self song’s truth reckon.” That poem, whose speaker recounts his freezing travels through a place of this type, was “translated” from Old English by Ezra Pound. Unferth taunts Beowulf about a contest with Breca that occurred in this sort of place. For 10 points, name this natural place whose kennings include “swan’s riding” and “whale-road.” ■END■
