Loyal Breadcrumbs

[Delta40]

ok, ok! I'm getting past this phase

So much effort
for a worthless man
and a broken heart

You are blind

Amid fake tears
and hideous chatter
familiar shores are betrayed

Go! be deceived

Piteous, foolish girl
who lets garbage love
thieve her family security

or

So muchel peyne
for a drasty swayn
and a brosten herte

Ye be blent

Midst feyne teeres
and loothly jangle
kynly strondes be wreyed

Gooth! be blent

Scathe veyn mayden
who suffren mullok luv
pykpurs hir kyn warente

[PrinceMyshkin]

ok, ok! I'm getting past this phase

Get past this phase
if you must
at our peril.

Who else will write to us
from Chaucer's time, or
so succinctly, of our own?

[Delta40]

Thank you Prince. I feel that I inflict this curiosity upon you all. I will worry less about my audience in this respect from now on.

As I've said before I love your Middle English, though I don't think this is one of your better pieces. I think there's something lost in the translation of this one; it lacks the wittiness of the ME. I do wish I could hear these read aloud. Maybe you should start putting up audio files of yourself reading them!

I like it in both languages. Delta, tell me again, did you take a class in this? Because it is another language at this point, and I'm trying to figure out how you do it.

Very cool!

I am not taught so I know I am not following the ME rules (whatever they may be!) Call it Midern English!
