Poet:
Ecgtheow’s son found himself engaged in ebbing:
loaded into a rattling cart and exiled to a darker country,
though unwilling to go easy in the loss of long-held lodging.
Everybody’s gotta learn sometime.

Question: what do you think the poet means by Beowulf being “exiled to a darker country.” Where might that be? Then the poet says Beowulf will lose his “long-held lodging.” Where do you think that is referring to? Where has Beowulf’s lodging been? What does the poet mean by these two phrases?
