My experiences thus far had me planning to throttle the first Tudor historian I met upon my return for gross dereliction of duty.

It is a blessing as well as a burden to love so much that you can hurt so badly when love is gone.

Memories were short and history unkind. It was the way of the world.

Ni muer ni viu ni no guaris, Ni mal no·m sent e si l’ai gran, Quar de s’amor no suy devis, Ni no sai si ja n’aurai ni quan, Qu’en lieys es tota le mercés Que·m pot sorzer o decazer.” “Not dying nor living nor healing, there is no pain in my sickness, for I am not kept from her love. I don’t know if I will ever have it, for all the mercy that makes me flourish or decay is in her power.
