Naomi Lewis 's observaUons on an old tale
It was the Sleeping Beauty, of course, who slept in the castle in the wood, but everyone in the castle, everything in the enchanted wood slept too. It is a potent myth: has not every human, the speaker asks, somewhere in the mind such a dense wood where absent lovers, distant battles, unwelcome news and views are conveniently left to sleep?
