...OMG, Julia. The tenderness and love here... WOW. <br /><br />I wish this had been part of the original Camelot story. Or maybe it was and we just don't know 'cause it's been lost over time. <br /><br />I'd sure like to think love was part of things for them.Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-62526073359514280082009-05-04T12:33:00.000-03:002009-05-04T12:33:00.000-03:00Dead good!

It makes their love triangle so much more compelling because no one's the obvious villain.<br /><br />Anthony - *blushing*Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-22268087126300954142009-05-04T04:47:00.000-03:002009-05-04T04:47:00.000-03:00Ah, so much of western cultural output comes from ...Ah, so much of western cultural output comes from the Arthurian legends.

Her more painful feelings are never an inconvenience to him, they truly matter. She need not cover them with a forced smile. And that is how it should be -- freedom to express with one's beloved, freedom to feel and not be judged harshly or cut off emotionally.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. :)Thomma Lynhttp://www.thommalyngrindstaff.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-45443986577716099852009-05-03T22:21:00.000-03:002009-05-03T22:21:00.000-03:00What an excellent poem.
