"She look'd so lovely, as she sway'd

The rein with dainty finger-tips,

A man had given all other bliss

And all his worldly worth for this

To waste his whole heart in one kiss

Upon her perfect lips."

art: John William Waterhouse, "La Belle Dame Sans Merci"

quote: Alfred, Lord Tennyson, "Morte d'Arthur"

Medieval Literature Class: *discussing the first chapter of Morte D'Arthur book 1, and particularly Uther's actions and characterization there*

Me: ...and every time he does anything I'm just like 'yikes!'

Tenured 60yo Professor: *nodding emphatically* BIG YIKES

Class: *starts giggling*

Love how it’s written as if this was a completely normal thing to say.

ARTHUR If this is you trying to leave your job...

MERLIN No. I'm happy to be your servant. Till the day I die.

ARTHUR Sometimes I think I know you, Merlin. Other times... [shakes head]

MERLIN Well, I know you. And you're a great warrior. One day, you'll be a great king.

ARTHUR That's very kind of you.

MERLIN But you must learn to listen as well as you fight.

ARTHUR Any other pointers?

MERLIN No. That's it. Just...don't be a prat.

this whole interaction just breaks my heart because arthur is just so confused and merlin is almost to the point of making a love confession while he's about to go ride to what he believes is his death

this interaction must baffle arthur for years to come, he probably remembers it as he lays dying in merlin's arms after the battle of camalann and he finally realizes what merlin was intending to say

Do you have a guide/a recommended reading list for getting into Arthurian legends? I’ve been really getting into it in the past few months but I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of the foundations of it. (If you don’t and this is too big of an ask totally feel free to ignore this lol)

hello, anon.

i don't currently although i have plans to add another page to my blog listing medieval texts as well as links to download pdfs of them. i have english translations of texts originating in belarussian, dutch, french, german, hebrew, italian, latin, middle english, and last but not least, welsh.

in the mean time, i've collected for you some key texts that are readily available to read for free online!
