Medieval Quotes

My mom used to make my costumes when I was little; she sews a lot. One year, I was a bride and I had a big wedding dress and a bouquet. Another year I was a medieval princess with a long teal dress and a veil. It was a little extravagant, but it was cute! Picture Quote #1

Medieval and ancient sensibility now dominates our time as acoustic and multisensory awareness displaces the merely visual Picture Quote #1

Bruges is a beautiful medieval city almost untouched by time. If you like jazz, you will be well catered for. If you like chocolate and beer, you will be in heaven Picture Quote #1

My grandmother would croon over every scrap of meat on a sparerib like a medieval relic hunter musing on the knucklebone of a saint Picture Quote #1
