She slept with her fellow soldiers, “all in the straw together.” Some say “that they had never felt desire for her, that is to say that sometimes they had the carnal desire for her (ils avaient volonte charnel). however never dared give way to it, and they believed that it was not possible to try it…” Sometimes...

ethniciguana asked: Arberry and Khalidi's translations are both poetically satisfying but a little obscure. Haleem's translation & the Oxford World Classics edition in general (with its footnotes and everything), is probably your best bet as far as I can tell.

i’m really glad i was a lil camwhore back in the day
so i can see my pix get reposted and have ppl tell me how much they’re in love with me and how they’re sad they’ll never be as pretty as me

sometimes i feel a lil sense of ownership over ideas/movements in cool kid theory
