R.I.P. Fiona


[...] Mais il n'est nus congiés, quoi ke nus die/Si dolorex com d'ami at d'amie de chate (παράφραση του στίχου: but there is no farewell -whatever they say- as sorrowful as that between lover and beloved her cat.  

(Aπό το τραγούδι του ιππότη Hugh V of Berzé (12ος αι): ''S'onques nus hom pour dure departie'' (If ever a man, for having undergone a cruel separation), μτφ. Caroline Smith, Joinville and Villehardouin. Chronicles of the Crusades, Penguin Classics 2008)
