Very well. *grin*
I do believe the fog around me has begun to lift with the aid of various
assorted missives!
In short, I understand that "medieval-sounding" will pass, but that there is
much more respect for those who delve more deeply to unconver medieval truths,
and that this should be done without loosing the storyteller's effect upon an
audience.
Of course, I do suffer from a lack of knowledge of the era, and have
consequently not chosen the specific time of Borden's existence... perhaps
it would be wise to do this sooner as opposed to later. *grin*
At any rate, for now a short poem (or three) would be best... I know the
tales of Robin Hood were extremely popular and not necessarily epic.
Well, I thank you all for your comments! Although there is no one great
truth, my questions have been answered none the less! *grin*
And now for the library...
Borden
