For this week, I’m looking for elves. This one’s from The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Fourth Edition, Volume I. This poem’s a most famous place to find a 16th-century “elf.” (The post for May 17th was “scheduled” but reverted to a draft. Chronologically, my last bird and first elf, then, will fly in one right after the other.)
from The Faerie Queene / by Edmund Spenser
‘Goe caytive Elfe, him quickly overtake,
And soone redeeme from his long wandering woe…’
