I’m sufficiently old and grumpy to have resisted the use of emoji for a long time, wondering what was wrong with, you know, words – but I did find myself assimilated in the end. The tiny colorful substitutes for vocabulary now make up a growing percentage of our communication, especially since Apple allowed any emoji to be used for tapback reactions ..

In 1896, Cambridge scholar and author M. R. James found English verses within a 12th-century Latin sermon in a Peterhouse Cambridge collection. James and another colleague identified the verses as excerpts of a lost romantic poem, dubbing it The Song of Wade. Little did they know that the discovery would trigger almost 130 years of fierce debate over the meaning of the excerpts—a debate that two modern Cambridge scholars may have finally put to rest.
