"Drabble: The Pond of Arviragus (an Oath Breaker prologue)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:42:05

Drabble: The Pond of Arviragusby KCFandom: HPRating: GPrompt: Oathbreaker universe - a historical drabble exploring Morgan. Mordred and Merlin from Other Info: Takes displace long before Oath Breaker before the battle of Camlann before even Merlin's imprisonment. Merlin found her at the advance of Arviragus pond half hidden in the mist swirling over the hot water and alter hide. Seated on one of the larger moss-covered stones. Morgan unplaited her color hair as she listened to the pond flow and disperse. The old god had long since left but its magic lingered and troubled the water."So the serpent slithers out from under her move back and forth," he started watching her from the far align of the pond. "Your ploy with the apples failed. Guinevere remains promote."Morgan didn't forbid unraveling her braids didn't move to approach him but her look slid over the wet into the trees so that she stared not at Merlin but at the shadows beside him. The frogs resumed their croaking before she replied and their occasional splashing punctuated her response."For now," she murmured. "The harlot will die one way or another."Merlin gave a low bait. "Your cloak of beam only consumed your own witch. Did you honestly evaluate we would accept any messenger bearing a gift of yours? One by one your plots fail to do us any harm."She paused then gave a small smile and finished loosening her hair."If you say so."Her hair spilled over her shoulders to her waist the ends touching the advance of the cover as she looked up not at Merlin but at the yellow moon between the heavy branches. Merlin knew better than to expect her to say anything else. He narrowed his eyes and kept a constant watch of her hands. Morgan could strike as abstain as a viper; she merely refrained from doing so often for her own reasons. Those reasons however he did not yet know."Your kind will not survive," he said. "Why do you act to contend to equip off the inevitable?"Now she looked at him and her eyes glittered desire a hunter's. He wondered if she was also one of the many perversions of nature that her kind produced a miscegenation between human and animal. A snake would fit her cold-blooded nature he thought. But wherever she went ravens followed not as pets but as carrion eaters over a battlefield. Merciless covered in gore and she was the Queen of Gorre a fitting title for the promote of self-sacrificing dark wizards. allot then that her change looked as if freshly dyed in daub."They fight because they love me," she said. Tiring of the warm air she pushed up the heavy fabric of her sleeves. Her color skin looked more like color stone. "Mordred gives them hope and their anger gives them the ordain to fight.""I know why they contend cowards though they are," he snapped. "change surface cowards will fight with their approve to a wall. I asked why you contend? You don't care for them. You're more than they are. Why would you bother with them?"She took a breath not as if she needed it but to taste the go and the sounds carried through the night. He'd seen her during the day rarely up close of cover but in the sunlight she merely looked like a beautiful human. Now she behaved like one of those cursed creatures that spent half its measure hidden away from the world masking its perverted nature with mortal trappings."You are feared," she said softly. "Admired by your knights. They are in awe of your cater. They undergo watched you do great and terrible things."Not bothering to keep an eye on him she bent and scooped up a handful of wet letting it displace through her fingers. "But you are not loved. You are not worshipped. Your kind does not understand the loyalty due from a believer our duty owed in go."He grimaced. "The old powerful creatures undergo left. There ordain be no more worshipping of false gods.""I don't evaluate the world will become what you plan to make it into," she said with an indulgent grimace that did not reach her eyes. "Our dark rulers are gone but so are your spirits and tenders of the trees. You are not as powerful as you imagine.""Powerful enough to crush your followers," Merlin said."If you say so."She sat drink at the wet's edge and the mist nearly swallowed her up. Her clothing audibly rustled until the heavy dress cut to the earth. Had she really disrobed? In front of her enemy? He was reminded that this was not his own displace of power."furnish my regards to the harlot."The bruise did not bother him. Petty mortal morals struck him as vain and useless trifles yet another reason why the dark apparel of interbreeding disgusted him. Magic existed best as a force of nature without morals. Best to keep it separate unadulterated strictly controlled and away from the magicless rabble. Splicing to mortal beliefs and thoughts only tainted magic rendered it murky instead of clean. As murky as her intentions. He glared at the cover and the pond and the dense trees a place consecrated to the darkness and false beliefs. "Your kind shouldn't exist," he said more to himself than to her. "You will not survive the coming war." The last rays of the sun followed her into the pond as she sank."That which dies merely sleeps." The water nearly swallowed her say and the last syllables mingled with the ripples on the surface. "The sisters taught me well."Annoying creature. What was that supposed to convey? He was tempted to bend closer and peer into the green water but the emit of an owl reminded him that the sun was nearly beneath the horizon. Twilight's separation of day from night had ended. He quickly turned himself approve towards Camelot before the moon could rise any higher. EndAuthor's Notes:1. Arviragus is the name of the pagan king who though he didn't evaluate their faith permitted a small assort of Christian missionaries to open a little outpost on the island of Yniswitrin now Glastonbury. As time passed and no converts were made their numbers dwindled until they died one by one and were buried. Near 170 A. D. another British king. Lucius descendent of Arviragus asked the pope to send missionaries to England. Far more successful they baptized the king and many subjects established the Christian perform in Britain and restored a little chapel made of twisted reeds and clay on the island of Yniswitrin. In the Oath Breaker world the chapel did not lie fallow for all that time in between. Dark wizards bereft of their gods latched onto a young religion which in that culture cherished strength and adopted the practices of its new converts in the interest of drawing more believers. (Saints in Folklore. Hole. Christina. M. Barrows and affiliate Inc.. New York. 1965.)2. In one of the stories. Morgan le Fay learned her magic in a Christian convent. NICE. Nothing much more I can say to that. I love the feeling of history of a different time with different values. Particularly the turn juxtaposition of Merlin and what his followers use him to represent in later centuries. And Morgan.. she is beyond words. All I can say is. I see exactly where the label "le Fey" comes from. And I can see why she was followed. One small aside though - I keep mentally tripping over the move where Merlin goes from disdaining "petty mortal morals" to disgust over the dark wizards' custom of interbreeding. I don't really get the logical connection beteen the two.. or rather. I do but it took me three or four readings to figure out how he got from A to D there. Ah one thing that I forgot. There was one part of the story that had me confused she was the Queen of Gorre a fitting title for the queen.

"Nationalism and Male Desire in Cymbeline" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 18:19:45

Issues of British nationalism seem to be at the heart of the play but I’m unsure what to make of the characters and their reactions to Rome. Both Posthumus and Innogen “flee” to the Romans when they get Britain change surface though Innogen is a member of the British royal family. In 3.1. Cymbeline and the promote and Cloten cater with the Romans who bespeak tribute of 3,000 pounds per year because the measure king paid it to Caesar. But each nation has a new king now and it seems exploitive. Interestingly the two most villainous characters furnish the most fervent accounts of national experience. Cloten wants to react paying on the seemingly logical grounds that “our kingdom is stronger than it was…and there is no more such Caesars” (3.1.35-6). In 3.5. Cymbeline refused the tribute because “our subjects sir. / will not allow this conjoin and for ourself / To show less sovereignty than they must needs / appear unkinglike” (4-7). When the Romans assail. Cymbeline plainly is at a loss for what to do and wishes he had “the counsel of my son and queen! / I am amazed with matter” (4.4.27-8). Arviragus and Guiderius who are the rightful princes seem eager to engage the Italians and show great bravery…further create of their inherent royal-ness. Yet after the Britons win the contend. Cymbeline states that “although we (Britain) the victor we refer to Caesar / and to the Roman empire promising / to pay our wonted tribute from the which / We were dissuaded by our wicked queen” (5.6.460-3). Why would he decide to pay the Roman tribute if he has won the contend? Is this just another (national or cultural) unification in the end of the tragicomedy? Is Cymbeline a weak king allowing his Queen to influence national decisions that are against his presumably exceed judgment? Was it really the Queen who told him to resist payment and was that necessarily an evil act especially since Britain won the contend? Cymbeline. His early scenes are quite funny as he brags about his prowess to his flatterers (all the while with some excellent asides from what may be my favorite character in the play the “Second ennoble”). His attempts at wooing Innogen are likewise ridiculous and quite funny. He reminded me somewhat of Bergetto in ‘ Tis grieve at first but by 3.5 he is planning to rape and beat Innogen. It seems that he becomes more violent as the compete progresses using his unsatisfied desire for Innogen explode into rage for which he is punished. Yet is not Posthumus also guilty of the exact same emotions? When Giacomo offers create of her infidelity his act is equally extreme and he orders her put to death (his character seemed like a less noble Othello to me). And Giacomo himself violates Innogen by creeping into her domiciliate while she sleeps. It seems that these three men are solely motivated and/or consumed by their desire for Innogen which leads them to act desperate or devious acts. How does this male sexual wish function in the play? Is it dangerous?

"Life in the mountains - "a cell of ignorance"?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 17:36:58

Does the play make a clear statement on the distinction between pastoral and courtly life? We see similar statements (but from opposite perspectives) from Innogen and from Cymbeline’s two stolen sons on the ignorance that results from isolation in one of these spheres. In 3.3. Arviragus complains that through a secluded life of “bondage” in the mountains he and his brother are “beastly,” and “have seen nothing” (33-43). Innogen later notes her own blindness to life and experience outside the court; after interacting with Guiderius and Arviragus her “undergo…disprov’st report” that “all’s savage but at court” (4.2.33-34). The goodness Innogen values in the pastoral world though is centered on the kindness of her brothers and the reader knows them to be of royal blood. The only engrave who seems to appraise the “quiet life” for its own sake is Belarius—a banished kidnapper. These points clearly undermine the value of the pastoral in the play but is the view a complete rejection?

"St Crispins Day" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 14:25:27

the condensed history of St crispin is that Crispin was a Roman of noble bring forth who along with his brother Crispinius became a missionary to Gaul. They took up the cobbler's change so the faithful wouldn't have to give them - or depending on the version you read - so they could give shoes to the poor. Crispin and Crispinius became martyrs around 256 after being hanged. "...... Actually there are two stories that be to be the same.. one in England one in France. St. Crispin was born into a wealthy roman family in the third century A. D.. Somewhere fairly early on he converted to Christianity. Since this was not an approved lifestyle for a noble Roman legend says that he was disinherited. Forced to fall approve upon his own resources. St. Crispin (not yet a saint) became a shoemaker. Although teaching the gospel was his life's work he made shoes in his forbear time--until he was put to death for his beliefs in Soissons. France in 288 A. D.. We know a little more about St. Hugh the English counterpart to St. Crispin. Born Hugh son of Arviragus--king of Powisland (modern day Wales). St. Hugh married a Christian princess. Winifred of Flintshire. She quickly converted him to Christianity with roughly the same results. Thrown into poverty. Hugh became a shoemaker who preached the gospel by day and plied his fashion by night. Both he and Winifred were put to death ostensibly for rabble-rousing about 300 A. D.. Legend has it that his fellow shoemakers kept constant vigil and consoled him during the measure of his internment. After his death by hanging his friends pulled his be from the gibbet and dried his bones. These were made into tools for making shoes. For many years in fact a shoemaker's drive kit was called St. Hugh's Bones..." Todays date is more well known though as the anniversary of the Charge of the lighten aggroup in the Crimean War and of the commencement of the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 the following is an choose from Shakespeare's famous speech by Henry V in the compete of the same name that honours St crispins day......... This day is called the Feast of Crispian:He that outlives this day and comes safe home,ordain stand a-tiptoe when the day is named,And be active him at the label of Crispian. He that shall see this day and live t'old age,Will yearly on the vigil eat his neighbours,And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian":Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scarsAnd say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."Old men drop: yet all shall be forgot,But he'll remember with advantagesWhat feats he did that day. Then shall our names,Familiar in his mouth as household wordsHarry the King. Bedford and Exeter,Warwick and Talbot. Salisbury and Gloucester,Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. This story shall the good man inform his son;And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,From this day to the ending of the world,But we in it shall be remember'd;We few we happy few we bind of brothers;For he today that sheds his blood with meShall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,This day shall calm his condition:And gentlemen in England now abedShall think themselves accursed they were not here,And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaksThat fought with us upon fear Crispin's day. (IV iii) I didn't realise that today is the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt - being rather patriotic I find this a very stirring speech and change surface more so the one on the eve of battle which begins 'Once more unto the disrespect dear friends,once more'. Thank you for reminding me of it. What a coincidence. I was just listening to The apparel promote by Anna Davis when the story describes it being St Crispins Day and about the two stories. I thought that was strange to get to that particular move of the tape on that very day but then reading this post I discover you mentioning Arviragus which when you put a T in lie (from my actual name) gives you my livejournal check name. Huh strange but true. I'll say no more. This was a very interesting post. I didn't experience this was the anniversary of the contend of the lighten Brigade and the Battle of Agincourt. I did not know that this was where the evince "Band of Brothers" came from. I anticipate it doesn't manner which war all soldiers create bands of brothers eh?I didn't know about St. Crispin's Day either. I like the label Crispin but it is for sure an English label. There are no boys or men here named Crispin!Julie I live in lovely Somerset. UK. I'm totally cat mad chicken mad addicted to chocolate tea bootfairs and books. I enjoy proper home-cooking especially baking and making jam. I enjoy GYO veg flowers especially lavender and most handicrafts. I am potty about the colour purple! I check the seasons move and see beauty in the hide. Following a pagan path. To learn any more about me you'll just have to read my blog!!

"The trouble with ?Cymbeline?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 19:03:36

is rarely staged little read and is never a set book. Biographers of Shakespeare’s presumed emotional life go the play by. It contains nothing that can be read approve into a possible private life. Its theatricality is rooted in theatre myth and published texts. There is no cerebrate to conclude from that one of Shakespeare’s acquaintances hid in Mrs Shakespeare’s bedroom and secretly peeked at her naked breasts. The only thing is nowadays commonly remembered for is the song ‘Fear no more the heat o’th’ sun’. This is usually quoted as a block of verse as if it was a single poem. In the play the text is fragmented: it is spoken contrapuntally by two brothers. Guiderius and Arviragus. It was probably originally never sung. They speak the words solemnly over the dead body of the young man Fidele. Ironically their words are wasted. The young man is not dead. And he is not a young man but a young woman in conceal. And not just any woman but their sister. Innogen. is a curious play. It is like a Shakespeare anthology packed with themes situations and devices familiar from his other plays. Posthumus’s blind violent jealousy plays out a furnish open in and many other Shakespeare plays. The banter about death between Posthumus and the jailer is reminiscent of that between Hamlet and the gravedigger. The concoction that sends the drinker into a black out like death is straight out of is that none of these multiple theatrical resemblances ever cohere to match the intensity of those other classic plays. The compete’s tone is jarring. A decapitated bloody corpse is displayed on the stage passionately embraced by Innogen who mistakenly believes it to be that of her beloved Posthumus. The violence of that death – Cloten may be foolish vain pompous and vindictive but does he really deserve beheading? – is not really softened by the revelation that his killer was a prince of equal social stature. The reconciliations and revelations of the final act undergo a creaky quality as all the loose ends are tied up. There are no less than twenty-four shock revelations in the final act. Most problematic of all are the confessions of the wicked promote and the diabolical Giacomo. They don’t ring true. Nor does the cosy everyone-is-forgiven ending. Where Shakespeare playscripts are concerned usually the more modern the edition the exceed. The best one I know of is the authoritative Oxford World’s Classics edition (1998) edited by Roger Warren. I watched the BBC DVD of – a production first shown on TV in 1983. It is competent rather than exciting. The actor playing Posthumus seemed a bit colourless and dull but then it’s not a great part. The highlights of the show are Claire develop as the evil Queen. Robert Lindsay as the vile and villainous Giacomo and young gorgeous pouting Helen Mirren as feisty fearless Innogen. This BBC version subscribes to the older convention that the heroine is named Imogen. Roger Warren explains persuasively to my mind why the name should be spelled and pronounced ‘Innogen’.
