treachery

un noeud complexe;
une vieille, bizarre, jaloux roi:
tricheur ou honnête ?
* * *
a difficult knot;
an old, bizzare, jealous king:
cheater or honest?

One Single Impression: Prompt 66: Denouement

I always thought that Alexander the Great cheated when he cut the knot of that madman king Gordius_!_

  3. Indeed. I've never known an honest old, bizarre, jealous king. Provocative piece.

  4. I've been away for a while, and to return to OSI via your words Kitehorse is a delight. And I like that after reading the prompt, I thought ah oui, en francais, and see that you had the same response. Vraiment complexe!
