a victory on His war-loom for the Weather-Geats.
Through the strength of one they all prevailed;
they would crush their enemy and come through
in triumph and gladness. The truth is clear:
Almighty God rules over mankind
and always has.
beowulf, 696-702
as a side-note to the general awesomeness of this passage, the image of God at a loom weaving the story of the world seems like a much truer picture than zeus with his jars of good and evil. just saying.
