Calantha
by Shannon Okey
Calantha—“lovely blossom” from Greek “kalos anthos”—draws its name from Lady Caroline Lamb’s Gothic novel Glenarvon. In it, Calantha is a thinly veiled stand-in for Lamb herself—the onetime lover of Lord Byron. Her obsession with him ignited when the poet spurned her. Previously she had described Byron as “mad, bad, and dangerous to know.” I hope my life could merit a biography worthy of that title, but if not my life, perhaps my shawl…
This shawl is knit from caterpillargreen’s MCN Fingering: Shawl in the XL size (6 oz/170 g), color way Concrete and Tulips.
