Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Parzival, Vol. 2: A Knightly Epic
Battle-hewn was the shield and dinted, as Gawain right well espied The nearer he rode unto it, and pierced with a lance-thrust wide. 35 Such token by joust is painted, little payment his skill should know Whose hand erst the shield had fashioned an he thought him to so By the trunk of the mighty linden sat a maid on the grass so green, And sore did she weep and bewail her, and joyless, I wot, her mien. Then around the tree rode Gawain, and lo on her knee she bore 40 A knight, and she wept above him, and grieved with a sorrow sore.
