Widsith spoke, unlocked his word-hoard,

Widsith spoke, unlocked his word-hoard,
he who had travelled most of all men
through tribes and nations across the earth.
Often he had gained great treasure in hall.

Hello,
Would you please be kind enough to clarify the blue part to me?
I think it means: [Widsith clarified his words/speech]
Am I right?

Thank you

Widsith began to tell all the stories he had been keeping inside him. (Possibly from not having had anyone to tell them to for some time.)

Are you sure you want to do Beowulf? If so, it will have to be out of historical interest, because there's nothing there you can use while shopping at a mall.

Thank you Calif.
My field of interest in the university is English Literature. We have very difficult books.
That's why I sometimes ask some awkward or unclear questions. Literature books are really difficult to be read but I love them.

Thanks for your time.

Ah! In that case, you'll have to do Beowulf. I agree that it's difficult. Hopefully, you'll get to do more modern literature as well. I can't imagine a steady diet of literature written before 1800.
