"In 1477 Margery wrote a letter to her John pleading with him not to give her up, despite her parents' refusal to increase her dowry.
Addressing her "ryght welebeloued Voluntyne" (right well-beloved Valentine), she promised to
be a good wife, adding: "Yf that ye loffe me as Itryste verely that ye do
ye will not leffe me" (If you love me, I trust.. you will not leave
me)."

I would like to create a maximum card/ maxicard/ dorincard with this Irish postcard, showing the Meeting on the Turret Stairs, 1864 (also known as Hellelil and Hildebrand), a famous painting by Sir Frederic William Burton RHA (8 April 1816 – 16 March 1900).
To me, this great painting is a whole book/drama condensed in one image.
I could write quite a few observations about body language and the meaning of this image, as a whole, and in specific detail.
But soakin' [so can] you. Please comment, will you?
Everybody would have his own interpretation of this, more or less original, more or less credible.
Well, after you think about it, read this:
I should research if there is already a stamp (Ireland/ any other country?) with it, then create a maximum card, if possible.
:)
Here's an interesting postmark of a knight in shining armor (don't worry about the stamp - I did not have a matching one available):
