Day 24 (1)
Day 24
The first 'line' (stanza) from a translation of Gawain and the Green Knight
After the siege and the assault
had ceased at Troy,
the city been destroyed
and burned to brands and ashes...
The old is ever new
War is now and history
And is remorseless
In its story
When will the assault cease?
The city is destroyed, all is ashes,
All is burned and branded
Troy is besieged
