In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Nuranar]

I here immortalize - or preserve until this forum falls to dust - the memory of Britomart, Spenser's original shieldmaiden, and the knight of the Red Cross.

. . . about her swayd / Her wrathfull steele, that none mote it abyide; / And eke the Redcrosse knight gave her good ayd, / Ay ioyning foot to foot, and syde to syde; / That in short space their foes they have quite terrifyde. ~The Faerie Queene
