Dear brain,

You are supposed to work on your term paper. No, the literature is not supposed to give you plotbunnies about how Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the result of a bet between Maglor and Daeron whether the (Middle) English tongue could be made into something beautiful or not. Sheesh. Even though it would explain why the author of the poem was obviously highly educated, obviously highly intelligent, obviously highly talented, obviously much better with about everything than his contemporaries, and just as obviously disappeared after writing a few brilliant poems and was never actually discovered.

On the other hand...

Dear literary world,

I have solved the mystery around the authorship of Sir Gawain. You may send me my literature Nobel prize at any covenient time.

Yours,

Lyra.
