Calogrenant - Week 50





Obscure Reference. I admit to being starstruck, I must also admit that my awe is not limited to celebrities in the entertainment industry. Not only do I worship at the feet of writers and animators, but scholars hold a special place in my firmament. I am very proud to have the friendship of Dr. Helen Nicholson of Cardiff University. Not only was it her translation of an excerpt from the medieval romance Claris et Laris that inspired this project, but her translation of another romance inspired one of the asides in this week's page. I take the liberty, then, of linking to her translation of the anonymous early 13th century romance "Melion." (Please note that the copyright to this translation is owned by Dr. Nicholson.)

I swear that the enchantment is getting stronger and she gets more cute in every subsequent frame...

She seems to have a mind of her own. It's a booger to keep her "on model."

Coline said...

No Gillian, she is behaving exactly like someone who is starting to love their true selves.

Been there, doing that...

Gillian said...

Yup.

It also subtly reflects how the Knights perceive her....big flutter lashes and pert....button nose. XD
