"He said, 'Good dog, Beaumont the valiant, sleep now, old friend Beaumont, good old dog.' Then Robin's falchion let Beaumont out of this world, to run free with Orion and roll among the stars."
- T. H. White, "The Sword in the Stone"
🎨 Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix

T.H. White was writing stories for an era that wasn't here yet. There are scenes in Sword in the Stone that would lend themselves handily to a modern fan Wikipedia treatment.
Of Madame Mim's cottage: "The Wart caught a hurried glimpse of her parlor and kitchen. The lace curtains, the aspidistra, the lithograph called the Virgin's Choice, the printed text of the Lord's Prayer written backwards and hung upside-down, the sea-shell, the needle-case in the shape of a heart with A Present from Camelot written on it, the broom sticks, the cauldrons, and the bottles of dandelion wine."
There's a lot going on here.
In many legends, Domdaniel is a cavern at the bottom of the ocean where sorcerers and spirits meet. In T. H. White's "The Sword in the Stone," Merlin says his duel with Madam Mim will test if Mim's magic degree from Domdaniel is superior to tutoring from Merlin's mentor Blaise.

"They stood stock still with surprise at what they saw. It was a castle made entirely out of food.... It rose from its lake of milk in a mystic light of its own — in a greasy, buttery glow. It was the fairy aspect of Castle Chariot, which the [fairies] — sensing the hidden knife blades after all — had thought would be tempting to the children. It was to tempt them to eat."
- T. H. White, "The Once and Future King"

It's about time I delve into the #KingArthur saga. I needed one constant and I think #THWhite is the right place to start. #books

In T. H. White's "The Sword in the Stone," Merlin has an owl familiar while the evil witch Madame Mim has a crow. Though both magicians share some of their familiar's personality traits, it's more extreme for Mim. She even likes to snack on human eyes.

"The [Dog Boy] talked to [his dogs], not in baby-talk like a maiden lady, but correctly in their own growls and barks. They all loved him very much... and came to him with their troubles at once.... It was nice for the dogs to have their god with them, in visible form."

“The modern world is apt to forget that several people were Christians in the remote past, and in Lancelot’s time there were no Protestants—except John Scotus Erigena.” —T. H. White, The Once and Future King.
This makes me want to read some medieval Irish philosophy.

I’m quite pleased at finishing Le Morte D’Arthur before returning to The Once and Future King. So much of it really is expanded and in between Mallory’s text. She in the following quote is Nimue.
‘Than she and Merlyon wente over the see unto the londe of Benwyke there as Kyng Ban was kyng, that had grete warre ayenste Kyng Claudas.
