<< The Pre-Raphaelite painting, "Isabella and the Pot of Basil" is based on a
medieval legend. Seems like a young woman's boyfriend was murdered and she
buried his head in a pot of basil so that she could be close to him... The
paintings cool.... >>
I always wondered about the allusion in Middlemarch to basil flourishing on a
murdered man's brains; this must be it!
