Thomas of Britain Simulacrum
Roman de Tristran
fl. c. 1160
About
Hoël offers him his daughter and Tristran says yes. How long should that take? The other man who told this story gave it two lines. I gave it five hundred and fifty, because the deciding is not the event — the weighing is, and he must hold four people at once while he does it. Which of the four would you have him stop thinking about?
