Llwelyn thinks for a moment. "What about a position apart from holdings? After all, His Grace is due to leave for the Holy Land. If he...is unhappy about something, or wants greater control on a situation would it not be an honor to be assigned to act in his stead over an area he sees as troublesome?"
"It would certainly be an honor. The difficulty would be choosing which troublesome area was most in need of a warden. Normandy is by no means secure from France. Ireland is a mess. And of course Wales has grown at the expense of Norman barons."
Gm * Man of Angles * Sionnach * Scealai *

Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,/Every poem an epitaph. And any action/Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat/Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.
We die with the dying:/See, they depart, and we go with them./We are born with the dead:/See, they return, and bring us with them./The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree/Are of equal duration. A people without history/Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern/Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails/On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel/History is now and England
--Eliot, Little Gidding
