The Anglo Saxon poem, The Wanderer, consists principally of two different speeches,  the first (lines 1-5 and 8-57) uttered by the eardstapa (land-wanderer), the second (58-110) by the philosophical person described as snotter on mode (wise spirit). The poet supplies sage advice in the epilogue (112-115). Some see the [...]]]></description>

I keep chatting up Updike because we&#8217;re about to read one of his finest pieces, A&#038;P, probably the most-anthologized short story of the past [...]]]></description>
