i have simply not posted about it that much but i am being um crazy fixated on tristan and iseult. um. yeah. i think ive gone thru like. 7 different sources/adaptations in the past few days:

bédier (reread)

chevrefoil

strassburg (prose)

prose tristan

ystorya trystan (like 3 versions bc i was looking for an original text and could only find summaries at first 💀)

la folie tristan (both 💀)

edwin arlington robinson's tristram

those couple stanzas of tristan rossignol in donnei des amants (google translated 😭)

watched wagner (like 3 diff productions)

watched l'éternel retour

got halfway thru beroul

skimmed the malory bits

tennyson's the last tournament (boo 👎)

ok that is—a lot more than seven. but. haha. you Get the point—
