The Beguiling of Merlin

I really, really wanted to make some kind of comment on the fact that it looks like Merlin is having a stroke, but I'm just not that horrible of a person. At least, I'm not today. Just pretend it in your brain that he is a stroke patient and she is not turned on by this.

(Edward Burne-Jones, The Beguiling of Merlin, 1874)
