Aus einer Wurzel zart

I have saved this one for a leisurely read and am not at all disappointed. Between the Wodewose and the carols and St. Margaret (and the Fourteen Holy Helpers, who must have something for Goyle when Draco finds him - IF he has the wine) and Myrddin and the Afallenau, I am in an elusive and allusive state of bliss.

The old Hufflepuffian diatribe on the dead of Winter and solsticio brumali has me in stitches.

I'm also swooning in most unmanly fashion over the concert t-shirts on the next gen lovers. No Æon indeed, nor principalities, nor powers...

Rotten luck with the RL weather, although it has borne fruit for us in its fictional Widerspiegelung. *dives back in*

(And you would liken Molly Weasley to Tessie Bear and name a house elf "Wynkyn" and make "lustrate" sound like the dirtiest word in the English language)

Ah, the Wodewoses.

I shall be getting stiff notes on stiff Savage Club notepaper for weeks.

And what else wd one call a library elf save Wynkyn?

Nolite dare sanctum canibus

I *finally* figured out why St. Margaret ante Porcos was bothering me so much. I can't believe I didn't see it at once. You're incorrigible (and yes, I'm slow).

Who, me? (Looks innocent.)

[wemyss]

Harmless fun, puns.

Farmless Huns

[noeon]

Yes, you. And your tweedy bravura.

Farmless Huns? Destroyed the Roamin' Empire.

Folkwandering about and all. (One always pictures a folk-wandering as a sort of woodland ramble of LibDems led by a protest singer with a guitar, doesn't one.)

Veritassarum

[noeon]

I think Augustine would have been horrified to have that at the gates. He might not have written De civitate dei, but he might have promulgated hygiene laws.
