    Then from the four corners of the world, from the outmost of Earth’s kingdom, all-bright angels will blow together on trumpets in one song. Middle-earth, the ground under men, will shiver. Strong and shiny, they will resound together with the path of stars, sing and bring melody from the south and from the north, from the east and from the west, over the whole creation.

    10th century, Christ III:
