All that is known to be his is a Northumbrian version of Bede's Latin paraphrases of C.'s first song: although by some the authorship of "The Dream of the Holy Rood," and of a fragment on "The Temptation and Fall of Man" is claimed for him. English Literature from Beginning to Norman Conquest, Stopford Brooke , and History of Early English Literature, by the same .
But this dim aspect of his philosophy, of course, is "to the Greeks foolishness." His was a philosophy of his own; not a philosophy for disciples, and "those that eddy round and round."
