From the most lyrical of chapters:
Quote:
For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them.

I would have loved to see this depicted in the film.
For now,
The Faerie Queene. Very enjoyable, and certainly gives one furiously to think about certain names and motifs . . .
