The Song of Roland
The Song of Roland | C. K. Scott-Moncrieff
4 posts | 25 read | 7 to read
Charles the King, our Lord and Sovereign, Full seven years hath sojourned in Spain, Conquered the land, and won the western main, Now no fortress against him doth remain, No city walls are left for him to gain, Save Sarraguce, that sits on high mountain. Marsile its King, who feareth not God's name, Mahumet's man, he invokes Apollin's aid, Nor wards off ills that shall to him attain. AOI.

Perhaps the most poignant moment of the whole epic! God, I love olden lit! My English degree's emphasis was in Middle English. Granted, this was written in Old French, but it fell within the same time period and so it was studied. Do you enjoy the older literature? I enjoy it so!

DivineDiana Yes, I do. Love the beauty of the language! 7y
kspenmoll Read that so long ago in college. Took an integrated year of medieval lit, history, art, music, culture. 😃 7y
LibrarianJen I read this in History 101 way back in the day. I should still have it somewhere. 7y
Texreader History was my major and English was my minor so I read this one and probably many of the same as you. I'm on the fence. I loved the history of it more than the language, with which I struggled. I gravitated more to writing for my degree, which was always my first love. 7y

#BookNDinner! McDonald's edition. MrBook needs his fast food fix before tonight's book club meeting, so here it is. Accompaniment this cool evening: a Big Mac, nuggets with sweet & sour sauce, fries, and Dr. Pepper. MMmmm 😋! Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻Re-reading this beloved classic of mine for tonight. Poetry is this month's theme.

Texreader I still think the McNuggets are the best out there but no one else in the family will go to McDs. So, I can enjoy them vicariously through you! 7y
