Is it possible to include "without" in a sentence that includes "To be"?
Natural examples
"I went to school without my books."
"I found myself lost without money in a foreign country."
"I do not have a pen to spare."
"I do not have time."
To be + without
"I am without my books."
"I am without money."
"I am without a pen to spare."
"I am without time."
These sentences do sound a little strange to me, however i'd like to clarify whether or not it is possible to write like this, perhaps in old English?
