Cover and Introduction







The cover of Galehaut (or Gallehaut as I sometimes called it).  Someone once defaced it with a coffee mug. The pattern is based on  a William Morris design (I drew all of it).. I was a  member for the Morris Society for years. And I had the privilege to stay in many rooms of the Manor where they had original Morris wallpaper.
The second page. The wreathing calligraphy in the middle says "Meleager"

Now will I weave white violets, daffodils
    With myrtle spray,
And lily bells that trembling laughter fills,
    And the sweet crocus gay:
With these blue hyacinth, and the lover’s rose        5
    That she may wear—
My sun-maiden—each scented flower that blows,
    Upon her scented hair.


Right. Now I can get on about how I delivered the flowers and got my clothes clean.
