  • Epigraph:

    "There is in this castle a gentlewoman and this castle is hers. So it befell many years agone there fell upon her a malady. An old man said and she might have a dish full of blood of a maid and a clean virgin, that blood should be her health, and for to anoint her withal; and for this thing was this custom made."

    -Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte D'Arthur
