more calligraphy! both i and my sister (@mxmalvolio) worked on this medieval-manuscript-inspired page. i did the calligraphy, the capital letters, and the drop capital "I" as well as the outlines for the borders. she did the paintings all in the borders, all the miniatures, and the figure inside the drop cap.
for context, the text is an abridged version of "The Legionnaire's Lament", a song by the Decemberists.

bind him
tie him to a pole
break his fingers to splinters
drag him to a hole

clawing at the ceiling of his grave

2. a delapidated barn in a snowy field, burning down.
3. “in the car, i tell you ‘i want to go home’ so you take me to a field on fire.”
4. “i am healthy, i am whole, but i have poor impulse control, and i want to go home, but i am home.”
5. an abandoned white house with a red roof being overgrown by leafless trees.
6. “and i’ll never go home again (place the call, feel it start).”
7. “americans are always so afraid of coming home… i would tell any wandering american now ‘of course you can go home again, and as often as you please. it’s only a motel.”
8. a black and white drawing of a small house, which has been broken along two lines, forming three sections at off angles to one another.
9. “and all we know for sure, amidst this fading light: we’ll not go home again.” /end id]
