>over the text,
>after parsing the words, a reader can still suspect -- and rightly!

>seeks.  Questions to consider might include the nature and purpose of such
>obstacles, how a medieval reader or a modern one might surmount them and what

>when, where,
>and why it was fashionable and/or necessary.
