Lease, Bail, Jail & Jailbait

Confined to this Gaol

Set in Mother Gaul

To which ultimate Goal?

With White & Black Sails set on

I Hear the Sirens' Songs

Lured by their enchanting music and singing voices

Jailbaits all!

As Myrddin*

Beguiled by Viviane

Incarcerated till his demise

* In chivalric romance tradition, Merlin has a major weakness that leads him to his relatively early doom: young beautiful women of femme fatale archetype**. His fate of either demise or eternal imprisonment is set by Viviane (of which the most primitive French form might be Niniane, ultimately derived from (and corruption of) the Welsh word chwyfleian (also spelt hwimleian, chwibleian, et al. in medieval Welsh sources), meaning "a wanderer of pallid countenance", which was originally applied as an epithet to the famous prophetic "wild man" figure of Myrddin Wyllt (a prototype of Merlin) in medieval Welsh poetry. Due to the relative obscurity of the word, it was misunderstood as "fair wanton maiden" and taken to be the name of Myrddin's female captor.) the Lady of the Lake, who uses one of his own spells to rid of him.

The Beguiling of Merlin, by Edward Burne-Jones, 1872–1877

The lease is a written agreement that establishes the relationship of freeholder and leaseholder and sets out the contractual terms that are binding upon each person named on the lease.

A freehold property means one owns a property and land outright.

A leasehold property means one only owns a property for a fixed number of years.

The length of the lease is to be specified in the contract.

🡺 Leasehold – where one owns the right to occupy a property for a fixed number of years, typically 99 years or more, and one has the right to live in that property but will need to follow any rules laid down in the terms of the lease. 

Flats are often leasehold, but houses can be too.

2009, The Economist, Charis Wilson, model and writer, died on November 20th, aged 95:

"The first time she modelled for Edward Weston, in March 1934, Charis Wilson knew she didn’t look good. At 20 she was “a piece of jailbait”, a mere child, especially with the stumpy plaits into which she sometimes twisted her hair."
