The very first line of the poem is typical of the rest of the work in its use of phrasing that is colloquial—that is, in this case, phrasing that implies one person speaking to another. Yet the phrasing is also colloquial in the sense that it is ordinary, unpretentious, and informal.

    Old English, one would notice that a significant amount of the words are barely corrigible to the modern English speaker. As such, it can be inferred that most of the Old English lexicon has been lost. One possible reason for this is the factor of history.

It is important to believe that it will be done the way you want it to be done, if I want it done I…

    The world is created not by physical measures, but through language. Empowering the speaker, language enables one to place meaning to a word. Hence, words generate categories and divisions based on the perception of the speaker. Control is gained through the power of the tongue. Along with control, manipulation can be the byproduct of language. In the act of naming, people have the tendency to assume the existence of that object. When interfering with the existential factors of any type of…
