The Estrangement of Melusine - E-book - ePub

In French there's an idiom for uttering the utterly unbearable: "Pousser des cris de Mélusine, " to cry out as does Melusine. These are the heartrending howls of tearing, of separation, of grief for the self, for the beloved. According to legend, Melusine still cries whenever a member of the House of Lusignan is about to die. Each parting is a new estrangement. Her exile becomes a no-place, where, invisible, untouchable, she hovers nearby, exiled from every form love - except loving.
Delve into the fairy's myth in shape-shifting verse with forms invented to reflect serpent, woman, fairy, spirit, and her human story.
