An issue with Quotation.
The full quote is this:
"Thrust at the throat, broke through the bone-rings; the stout blade stabbed through her fated flesh" (1055-1056).
The way I wrote the quote is this:
“Thrust at the throat, broke through the bone-rings;” (1055). The mere description shows the joy in battle that Anglo-Saxon's enjoy and believe in so heavily, “The stout blade stabbed through her fated flash” (1056).
Is this wrong?
(My version of Beowulf is translated by Charles Kennedy, and the style of writing is MLA.)
"Thrust at the throat, broke through the bone-rings; the stout blade stabbed through her fated flesh" (1055-1056).

I have to leave my paper in present tense, so the ed's can't get put in. (I know "BAH! MLG!" - haha. I had to re-write my entire paper to fix that.)
And I was thinking that the semi-colon should be omitted also, but I'm not sure.
Sighness.
Thanks again^.^
