A Sense of History: Spiral Staircase
The Anglo-Saxon poet looks on the sea from the highest point of the tower and then, without saying all that was seen, begins a descent. The way of the poem traces a spiral staircase. Ultimately, the plan of this staircase follows an Elvish design. The staircase is a picture of the descent of mortal generations in history, drawn from the perspective of those who do not die.

Thank you very much, Anerea!…

I've written about all three Queens, but maybe the most about Vanimelde.
