Ah, I thought that looked like it could be poetry! It's Corrigan, speaking to Aotrou in
The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun:
Quote:
Forget thy wife; for thou shall wed
anew with me, or stand as stone
and wither lifeless and alone,
as stone beside the fountain stand
forgotten in Broceliande.

("Thou" was the clue - I don't think that's used in any other of the minor works!)
