  LA BELLE DAME SANS MERCY: Introduction
La dame, having no desire "[t]o be rewled by manis goveraunce" (line 315), is characterized by a Boethian frame of mind in which reason is paramount, and she refuses to be swayed from "undreneth the standart of Daungere [Resistance]" (line 180) by any of l'amant's feints or ploys.
L'amant's claim that la dame is somehow to blame for his desire for her, and that this in turn obligates her to take pity on him, is a stereotypical one that critics reproduce when they argue that her rejection should be read as frigid or hard.
La dame has her own version of this: "This sikenes is right easé to endure - / But [Only a] fewe people it causith for to dye" (lines 293-94).

They call me la belle dame sans merci behind my back.
They think I do not know of their fearful whispers; they think I do not know of their stories about me. I know none of them are true, and so I ignore them, just as my father taught me to do.
I am commonly known as Lady La Belle Deathstrike; my courtiers, shallow as they are, would never admit that they refer to me as such, of course.

 La Belle Dame Sans Merci - BPAL Madness!
The name translates to "The beautiful woman without mercy", and is the title of an old French court poem that was later revamped by John Keats.
La Belle Dame sans Merci, though, has a very different sort of strength than those - this is pride, bitterness, anger, and a biting viciousness all in one.
Even though it does have that green clean presence, this is a strong, somewhat cold scent, cold definitely as in "without mercy." As usual, Elizabeth has captured the intended mood perfectly.

 Who is La Belle Dame? - handcrafted silver and gemstone jewelry to inspire and entrance
La Belle Dame Sans Merci is a fairy maiden from a poem by John Keats, who lures princes and knights to their demise with her beauty.
It has always been one of my favourite poems from the Romantic Era, and when I was trying to think of a name for my jewelry collection I could think of no better image of feminine power and allure than that of La Belle Dame.
Although I do not reccomend seducing countless numbers of knight-at-arms and princes to an untimely demise, I do think that La Belle Dame does have something to impart us.

 John Keats - La Belle Dame sans Merci
The latest dream I ever dream'd On the cold hill's side.
I saw pale kings, and princes too, Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; They cried-"La belle dame sans merci Hath thee in thrall!" I saw their starv'd lips in the gloam With horrid warning gaped wide, And I awoke, and found me here On the cold hill's side.
And this is why I sojourn here, Alone and palely loitering, Though the sedge is wither'd from the lake, And no birds sing.
