Hell grant soon we hear again the
swords clash!
And the shrill neighs of destriers
in battle rejoicing,
Spiked breast to spiked breast
opposing!
Better one hour’s stour than a
year’s peace
With fat boards, bawds, wine and
frail music!
Bah! there’s no wine
like the blood’s crimson!
Scene no 45: Knights in ambush (Britains toys, Mini Set 1082, 1:42 scale mini-scenic models).
The verses: From "Sestina: Altaforte" by Ezra Pound.
