“Perhaps, Beowulf, it is only you who have the power to deal the monster the deathblow we long for, the end he so richly deserves.”

Michael Morpurgo,
Beowulf
“kind, to gaze in triumph at his gory head. So, remembering all this, let us all rejoice and feast together tonight. And in the morning I shall give you all your promised treasure.”
