Is there a clause providing for non-blogger's involvement in this tagging process? Here - I will tell you here what page 123 of the nearest book says - the book is The Lais of Marie de France - pg 123, first five lines are "...onto the palrey, behind her. / With her he went to Avalun, / so the Bretons tell us, / to a very beautiful island; / there the youth was carried off." It's the end of a 'lai' about a guy named Lanval who's lady love had to rescue him from false accusations and an angry king. Next three sentences: "No man heard of him again, / and I have no more to tell." (The last line of the poem), then "In this lai, Marie presents a contrast between the world which love enables lovers to create for themselves and the world of ordinary human society, where they must otherwise live. The world of love is complete in itself; secular society, even in its noblest form, the Arthurian court, is shown to be severely limited."Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676891557563961507noreply@blogger.com
