I’ve been reading his work for many years & I can readily appreciate why many qualify his writing as ‘timeless’.

It is thought that a group of Germans called ‘The Angles’ left that area to settle in Great Britain.
People started calling the place they settled ‘Angle-land.’
This morphed into ‘England.’
We now speak ‘English.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

‘tragos’ = goat
‘aeidein’ = to sing
So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”
