Is your armour put by, like the sheep in a fold?
Are you- who that day rode so mail'd and admired,
Now sitting at ease in a library chair!
Have you sent back to Astley the war-horse you hired,
With a cheque upon Chambers to settle the fate?

After Makoto calls out to her, she opens the window, confessing her love. With a teacher at the broadcast room door, she jumps out of a two-story window to escape, slides down a tree, & asks him to date her, her hand outstretched. Clearly taken by her #gallantry, he, unsurprisingly, says yes. (75/?)
What fun this is, John! This #cherita captures the #tongueincheek #gallantry of nobly accepting the fate of #rejection #keepstakes #poemsabout @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk bsky.app/profile/john... #

This medieval artwork captures a poignant moment of chivalry, with a knight kneeling before a lady in an ornate courtyard, offering her a single rose. His polished armour reflects the sunlight, symbolising gallantry, while his posture conveys both reverence and hesitation. The lady, adorned in an intricately embroidered gown, gazes at him with an unreadable expression, embodying the ambiguity of acceptance or expectation. Onlookers in vibrant medieval attire observe from balconies, their presence hinting at societal judgement. A white horse stands nearby, representing purity, while distant jousting scenes evoke the performative nature of knighthood. The piece explores sincerity versus spectacle.

Can a gallant gesture ever transcend its performative roots to become pure expression, or does chivalry's spectre of expectation eternally shadow its authenticity... just asking for a friend?
