GERMAN KNIGHTS


Upon a deep green Achmardi

She bore the pride of Paradise,

Root and branch, beyond all price.

That was a thing men call the Grail,

Which makes all earthly glory pale.

           

 

 

 



Scene no 31: German Knights (Del Prado toy soldiers) in front of the ruins of a Church (Noch HO Scale toys, 58606). Wolfram von Eschenbach in the middle. Schenk von Limburg in the left. In the right, a knight who bears the arms of a member of the von Mallinckrodt family of Westphalia.
