Wolfram von Eschenbach quotes
Wolfram von Eschenbach was a German knight, poet, and one of the most celebrated medieval epic writers. His best-known work is "Parzival," an influential Arthurian romance that explores themes of chivalry, compassion, and the quest for the Holy Grail. He inspired generations of poets and remains central to the Western literary canon. Here are 23 of his quotes:
Upon a green achmardi she bore the consummation of heart's desire, its root and its blossoming – a thing called "The Gral", paradisal, transcending all earthly perfection! She whom the Gral suffered to carry itself had the name of Repanse de Schoye. Such was the nature of the Gral that she who had the care of it was required to be of perfect chastity and to have renounced all things false.
Wolfram von Eschenbach
Day thrust its brightness through the window-pane.
They, locked together, strove to keep Day out
And could not, whence they grew aware of dread.
She, his beloved, casting her arms about
Her loved one, caught him close to her again.
Her eyes drenched both their cheeks. She said:
"One body and two hearts are we."
Wolfram von Eschenbach
