Suddenly, through a veil of tears I saw the knave.
Wearing guilt across a blighted face:
Like the ambitious wife hiding wrong and blood;
vile stubborn stain, longing to vanish.
Vainglorious conquests! Viewed from here; assonine
exploits with multiple illusions.
A magician with a box of tricks opening
up on the darkest day; winding down
to deeper proceedings. Charmed, stinking essence;
transparent, I saw the knave; hidden.

I feel the thrust of your passion. Such strong feelings. I agree - senseless, vainglorious. I won't ask why because I can't give an answer.

Very interesting, Gillian. You put us right in Queen Elizabeth's court...a place I 'visited' many times in college many years ago. You captured the feel of this 17th century place.
