St Caedmon d. 680 Poet and Evangelist

                                               Psalm 80:14

    Look down 

    from heaven, 

    behold 

    and 

    tend 

    this vine; 

    preserve 

    what your 

    right hand 

    has planted.

Caedmon, the first poet of record in the English language, was a monk at the double house (of men & women, common in the Celtic tradition) at Whitby when Hilda was abbess.  (Give Us This Day)
