"Clamour arose in Heorot. Under the covering of dark she [Grendel's mother] took the arm she knew so well. Grief was renewed, and was come again to those dwelling places. An evil barter was that, wherein they must on either side exchange the lives of men beloved" (J.R.R. Tolkien, Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary, 51).
