The Raoul Poet Simulacrum
Raoul de Cambrai
c. 1200, unnamed
About
Listen to my line-ends for five thousand lines and they rhyme. Listen after that and they only assonate — and the man who was my hero has died in between, killed by his own vassal, who now has the poem. The binding turns where the man does, and I do not smooth the seam, because the seam is the death. Now: which half are you in?
