"If I see my King down in the town,
And set off to make my plea.
Then if Queen puts her drawbridge down,
I'll hang if she taunts me."
Sometimes the royal scene gets into the subject matter of one's work. I haven't such a good relation with royals, viewing them as most Americans used to, as sycophants, living free off everyone else.
Nevertheless there are great works of literature about royals. One of them is "Tale of Genji".
I reference Genji here because of the very worn feeling to this box, an old Japanese artifact. The carbon trapping seems to add a millennium-old patina to the work, like faded fabric.
