On medieval art now sadly lost
(Scene: a romantic bedroom in Barcelona. ELODIE and the DR are in bed. ELODIE is sleeping while DR GLASS reads, like a nerd.)
ELODIE: *laughs self awake*
DR GLASS: what are you dreaming of, (romantic endearment)?
ELODIE: (asleep) “Hounds in the Pursuit of Booty.”
DR GLASS: ….
DR GLASS: what.
ELODIE: the 15th century Flemish tapestry. YOU know.
DR GLASS: what.
ELODIE: (asleep, annoyed) see, here on the card. Flemish tapestry, circa 1451. “Hounds in the pursuit of-”
DR GLASS: are you in a museum?
ELODIE: yes, in the medieval art section!
DR GLASS: is this a real tapestry, or your imagination?
ELODIE: (cognitive dissonance, wakes up) it’s… Oh. I was dreaming.
DR GLASS: what was this tapestry about???
ELODIE: you know. Medieval hounds pursuing a stag with a human butt.
DR GLASS: (speechless)
ELODIE: you know. A stag with a big round human butt. And the hounds were pursuing it. “Hounds in the Pursuit of Booty.”
