Belmont Humanities Symposium Journal
Abstract
The impetus for this year’s symposium “Worlds Enough and Time” began for me more than forty years ago, while I was working on my senior thesis on “Concepts of Order and Chaos in Anglo-Saxon Poetry” and happened to notice that the idea of time underlying one of the poems was quite different from my own. So, as I prepared to write this introduction, I found myself returning to the starting point of my interest: the Anglo-Saxons. Surely, I thought, one of their famous riddles must have as its answer, Time. Not that I could find. So I tried to write one myself, hoping to use it as some sort of epigraph for this introduction. No such luck. Perhaps the problem was that I’m just not a good riddle maker. However, I think the answer is more complicated than that.
