The fields we know

[louiselux]

I'm reading The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany. I swear if he uses the phrase 'the fields we know' one more time I'm going to start gnawing at the book cover or wring its neck or something equally unspeakable. Perhaps I got up too early...

In other news I have so much to write that I actually don't know where to start. Maybe I should just start with Gojyo and move on from there.

In other other news, I finally finished S2 of Supernatural. I have a lot of trouble liking the writers of this show, but I can nearly forgive them because of the giant ball of emo that is Dean Winchester, and his completely beautiful and desperate love for his brother.

D'you know I think I went through a phase reading really old books and that was one of them BUT!!! I cannot remember a thing about it! Maybe I should go dig it up again and have a quick glance.

Just as heavy going was Mallory's 'L'Morte d' Arthur' (spelling??) but there was some slash going on in my head whilst reading that (so many knights to choose from) that I remembered that more! ^_~ This was way before I'd even heard of slash...

but it's the 17th now and I go posteth my version of the Owl and the Pussycat (it's already the 17th hear ^_~...and I was so totally not pimping it...*whistles innocently!*)

Ahh, those knights. I've never read that but I think I should. :)

The King of Elfland's Daughter is unique, I think. It's very hard going, but sometimes he uses such lovely phrases that I can forgive him. The plot so far is: At the bequest of his father, Prince Averil goes to Elfland and brings back the Elf King's daughter, who is very strange and elflike and talks to goats and things. It takes him a day, but when he gets back years have passed. They have a child, Orion, and then one day the Elf King's daughter just gets too sad and blows away on the wind, and when Averil goes back to Elfland to find her, it's gone.

I haven't read any further yet, though.
