Gawain and the Greene Knight
I found a delightful essay here:
http://www.wussu.com/writings/bertram.htm Who the author is I have no idea, nor can I vouch for its veracity, but it seems interesting ... I'll leave it to you. Thomas |

Re: Gawain and the Greene Knight
Kindest Regards, Thomas!
Thank you for that. I'm afraid my familiarity with the Arthurian legends is very limited. The Green Knight, if I read the same story in modern English sometime in the last couple of years, is an interesting character. Linking him to the wild man seems correct. Gwain and Santa Claus. Who'da thunkit?  |

hi juantoo3 -
Linking him to the wild man seems correct ... Gwain and Santa Claus ... Who'da thunkit? Indeed! We were given an original Victorian Christmas card a few years ago, and the 'Father Christmas' face on the cover was framed in a laurel of seeds, twigs, leaves, etc ... exactly the same as the 'olde English' Green Man.
