Oct. 4th, 2009 02:12 amMore quotes/fic prompts from Lefort. Just two this time, so I won't cut them. The following are applicable to Arthur, Peter, Aslan, and everyone who loves them.
"[T]hey made kings the object of their love. Theirs was a singular love: ‘an obstinate, blind love which saw all its God’s imperfections as its virtues. Far from being shocked at seeing the human element in him, they were grateful for it. They believed that it would bring him closer to them, that it would make him less proud and less harsh."
"At this point, love values the king above life itself. And it is through the double operation of sacrifice and pleasure that the king’s subjects experience rapture. Love both nourishes their life and justifies their death. It is the image of the natural body, the image of a God made flesh, the image of his marriage, his paternity, his liaisons, his festivals, his amusements and his feasts, but also the image of his weaknesses or even his cruelties, in short all the images of his humanity that people their imaginary, that assure them that the king and the people are conjoined."
Spoiler time!
