Knights and Their Days (Classic Reprint) by Doran Doran Pdf
Excerpt from Knights and Their Days We confess to having more regard for Arthur than for his triple-wife Guinever. As I have had occasion to say in other pages, I do not like to give up Arthur! I love the name, the hero, and his romantic deeds. I deem lightly of his light o'love bearing. Think of his provocation both ways! Whatever the privilege of chivalry may have been, it was the practice of too many knights to be faithless. They vowed fidelity, but they were a. Promise-breaking, word-despising crew. On this point I am more inclined to agree with Dr. Lingard than with Mr. Hallam. Honor was ever on their lips, but not always if their hearts, and it was little respected by them, when found in the possession of their neighbor's wives. How does Scott consider them in this respect, when in describing a triad of knights, he says, There were two who loved their neighbor's wives, And one who loved his own.
