“I will
find a book and read to you I think. I know you get bored with
nothing to occupy you.”
My beloved introduced this method to keep me relatively immobile
while resting to heal an injury. This was done also when recovering initially
from the shadow realm, as it gave us something to think on other that what
had happened.
The story this time involved some of the characters also found in
the Green Knight tale. About a king that began unknown, and who gathered
knights to his famous table.
One scene depicted the hunt and slaughter of a unicorn, which I
found poignant because these creatures are universally considered good. My
beloved explained that it perished due to the deception of the villainess and
the naïveté of the boys that killed it. But as a result they were no longer so
jaded. Their deeds thereafter reflected how they had viewed the incident and
shaped what they became. One resorted to villainy; another rose to be a great
knight.
I related some of the story to Nemeiah, although I could not offer
an accurate translation of the title, as is evident in this entry.
