Maxim Butkewitsch gestern in Berlin. Er ist im Oktober aus russischer Kriegsgefangenschaft zurückgekehrt und beeindruckend klug und reflektiert.

Über seiner Wärter sagte er, dass sie in etwa dasselbe sagten wie Trump. Ihr Feind sei der liberale Westen. Die ihn anfangs bewachenden russischen
Olek­san­dra Bienert und Maxim Butkewitsch sithen rechts und links von einem niedrigen Tisch in Richtung Publikum. Beide halten Mikrofone, er spricht. Er hat sehr kurze hellgraue Haare und trägt einen dunklen Pullover mit einem kleinen blaugelben Aufnäher am Oberarm, dunkle Hosen und Stiefel. Im Hintergrund Wände aus beigem Sandstein.

Man, I am so fucking sick of people trying to erase the HEA from genre romance and talking about how any love story could be a romance that I’m coming all the way around to NONE of it is romance because nobody’s on a chivalric quest. Sir Gawain or GTFO.

Robert Eggers has revealed that the dialogue in his upcoming film #Werwulf will be entirely in Middle English:

« It’s been said, and taken as official, that the movie is in Old English. But obviously, because of the 13th-century setting, it’s Middle English. I just want to be clear on that. »

It's that time again: I'm starting another stanza of my Sir Gawain and the Green knight translation. As a teaser, here's the original, in a version with modernized spelling. See if you can figure out how you would translate it!
#poetry #poetrysky #arthurian #epic #poem #SirGawain #GreenKnight
“That is a word,” quoth that wight, “That worst is of all. But I am swared for sooth, that sore me thinks. Kiss me now comely, and I shall catch hethen. I may not mourn upon molde, as may that much loves.” Sykande she swege down and seemly him kissed. And sithen she severs him from and says as she stands, “Now, dear, at this departing, do me this ease: Give me somewhat of thy gift, thy glove if it were, That I may minne on thee, man, my mourning to lessen.” “Now iwis,” quoth that wigh, “I would I had here indeed The liefest thing for thy love that I in land wield. For ye have deserved, forsooth, sellily oft More reward by reason than I reach might; But to deal you for drury that dawed but neked. It is not your honor to have at this time A glove for a garysoun, of Gawain’s gifts. And I am here an errand in erdes uncouth, And have no men with no males, with menskful things. That mislikes me, lady, for love at this time. Each tulk must do as he is tan, take to not ill, nor pine.” “Nay, hende of high honors,” Quoth that lovesome under line, “Though I had naught of yours, Yet should ye have of mine.”

Kanskje ikke heeeelt det ordet du søker, men... Fra «Dictionary of obscure sorrows»:
sitheless adj. feeling wistful upon brushing past a person you once shared a life with — noticing the same touch on the arm, seeing the same smile, heading the same laugh you used to adore — suddenly all too aware that it's no longer for you, and no longer carries the meaning it once did. Old English "sithen", since then + "natheless", not less by that. Pronounced "sih-thuh-les."»

Here's that stanza (in spelling-modernized) Middle English:

There are a few tricky translation issues here ...
Then latches ho her leave, and leaves him there, For more mirth of that man might she not get. When she was gone, sir Gawain geres him soon, Rises, and riches him in array noble, Lays up the lovelace, the lady him ragt, Hid hit full holderly, where he hit eft fonde. Sithen chevely to the chapel choses he the way, Prevely approached to a priest, and prayed him there That he would list his lif, and learn him better, How his soul should be saved, when he should seye hethen. There he schrof him schirly, and showed his misdeeds, Of the more and the minne, and mercy beseeches, And of absolution he on the seg calls. And he absolved him surely, and sette him so clean, As doomsday should have been dight on the morn. And sithen he makes him as merry among the free ladies, With comely carols and all kinnes joy, As never he did but that day, to the dark night, with bliss. Each man had dainty there, Of him, and said, “Iwis, Thus merry he was never ere, Since he came hither, ere this.”

Once you get an ear for the Middle English though, it's absolutely beautiful work. There's something about it i just adore:

But sooth is seyd, go sithen many yeres,

For al day meeteth men at unset stevene."

And now it’s off to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, as you have never before considered the story. Plus, the best #footnotes yet.
Taken from the photo, but this gives you the sense of what the guest editor was up to. Sir Gawain Cleans The Green Knight's Patient Pearl' or: The Essential Gawain Poet Sithen the sege and the assaut was sesed at Troye, Ay was Arthur the hendest, as I haf herde telle. Kryst kydde hit Hymself in a carp onez, "Bigog, " quoth the grene knyght, "Sir Wel gay was this gome gered in grene Gawan, me lykes. • . That thou so stykes in garlande gay® And used hem unthryftyly echon on other. 1 The text of this edition has been standardized for pedagogical purposes, but, of course, has not been modernized. 2 These lines, when juxtaposed, as only the Essential Series has done, create the tone of romantic-epic dichotomy so much enjoyed during the Medieval period. For totally unrelated reading, see Joseph Fischer's Die Stabendelangzeile in Den Werken des Gawain-Dichters (Bonn, 1901) • 3 Christ's 'carp' is the Sermon on the Mount, in which eight Beautitudes are specified (Matt. 5: 1-11). For a more detailed exploration of Beautitudes, examine their treatment in the first section of the complete Patience, which, for obvious reasons, was not significant enough to be included in this edition. 4 It becomes obvious, at this point, of the 'special relationship developing between the Green Knight and Gawain. 5 This line needs no explanation. 6 Andrew and waldron, in The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript (Berkeley, 1979), state that 'garlande gay', previously thought to have metaphorically signified the heavenly procession paralleled in the usage of 'ghirlanda' in Paradisio X.91-3 and XII. 19-20, may actually signify the maiden's crown, "due to the fact that the 'corona' (crown) was commonly understood to stand for the circle of the blessed. . . ." But when placed in the context of the essential lines, 'garlande gay' adopts a much different, better, meaning. See the caveat in the earlier alt text, please. As perle bi the quite pese is of prys more, So is Gawayn, in god fayth® , bi other gay knyghts. Be noght so gryndel, godman, but go forth by wayes, That we gon gay in oure gere that grace he us sende, After the segge and the asaute was sesed at Troye, Iwysse, But on stroke here me fallez - And sayde "With my wyf I wene, Bot that my hede falle on the stonez, " And the knyght in the enker grene.1° 7 'pese' is the old singular form. 8 This is most assuredly a reference to Gawain's 'good faith' before he succumbs to the pleasures of the flesh and turns into a base, adulterous sex maniac. 9 'Gryndel' (fierce, angry) may be derived from OE 'Grendel' and ON 'grindill' (storm, wind). Then again, maybe not. 10 Most critics agree that the ribbon, or scarf, is the symbol of infidelity that is mirrored in the scar on Gawain's neck. But it seems more reasonable to assume that his infedelity does not stem from the Green Knight's wife, but from the Green Knight himself; both suffer similar wounds, and both sleep with the same women. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE ESSENTIAL GAWAIN POET "Awesome..•stupendous...incredible...unbelievable." --Time "Not your usual coffee table book." -The Atlantic "I didn't understand a word. Loved the footnotes--so tasteful." --Miss Manners "I was dazzled, thrilled, and delighta to realize this profession has such a promising young scholar in its midst. We've had the A-text, the B-text, the C-text, and, even, the X-text, but now, at last, we have the text." --Chaucer Review "Gastle makes Gawain and the Green Knight rise to the occasion." --Blueboy "At last, Methods Publishing presents a scholarly work of interest to people working in this most rewarding field. My only critique, the footnotes could have used footnotes." --Speculum
