The Ruin
The Ruin is an Old English poem from the Exeter Book. Its subject is the depiction of an ancient Roman ghost town in England, and the powerful fate that has swept a formerly lively and vibrant community into nameless dust.
It shares the melancholic worldview of The Seafarer and The Wanderer.
