Genesis, lines 234-337

God leaves Adam and Eve to inhabit Eden.

[At line 235, begins “Genesis B,” a part of the poem that Eduard Sievers showed had been translated into Old English from an Old Saxon original. This philological determination was then shown to be true when a portion of the Old Saxon poem was found in the Vatican Library].

We now turn to the fallen angels, brooding in hell. Their leader complains about his torments and explains how he came to be there. We have the story of the fall from heaven.

  • Dear Larry,

    I think there was a file naming issue that might have caused a problem. I’ve re-saved everything with the next title and re-uploaded, so hopefully this will now work. You might want to hit “refresh” on iTunes to see if that helps, also.
