Broceliande
"And as he taught me of his sorcery,
and I grew wise and powerful, I saw
this stately lord diminish in my sight
to a repulsive, withered, grasping thing
that would not give me peace; how loathsome he
became to me! I wished him dead, or worse,
and dreamed of being free to use his gifts
to make myself the lord of other men;
for why should I, so young and fair, endure
this aged creature, lone and desperate?"
from "Broceliande"
