SO, NOBLEMEN AND NOBLEWOMEN HAVE DINED on strange stews and exotic fowl, including swan and young heron, when after the third course the doors of the hall open, and in rides a mysterious knight on an extraordinary horse. It could be the inciting incident in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, or the event by which escapade and adventure are triggered in several Arthurian narratives. Except the steed this knight is mounted on is made of brass, and the king is not Arthur but Cambyuskan, aka Genghis Khan – not to be confused with Combusken, the bipedal chicken-like Pokémon character with powerful thighs, who can deliver as many as ten kicks per second. As well as bestowing the gift of the alloy horse, the knight presents a sword with magical healing properties, a mirror that warns against adversity, and a ring, which is given to the king’s daughter, Canacee: that if hire lust it for to wereUpon hir thombe or in hir purse it bere,Ther is no fowel that fleeth under the heveneThat she ne shal wel understonde his stevene.11

老鹰和鸽子:汤姆·冈恩和泰德·休斯诗歌中的猛禽和狂喜

所以,当第三道菜结束后,大厅的门打开,一位神秘的骑士骑着一匹非凡的马进入时,贵族和贵族妇女吃了奇怪的炖菜和奇异的家禽,包括天鹅和小苍鹭。可能是《高文爵士与绿衣骑士》中的煽动性事件,或在几个亚瑟王叙事中引发出轨和冒险的事件。除了这位骑士所骑的骏马是黄铜制成的,国王不是亚瑟而是 Cambyuskan,又名成吉思汗——不要与 Combusken 混淆,Combusken 是一种双足鸡般的神奇宝贝角色,拥有强大的大腿,可以提供多达每秒十次。除了赠送合金马的礼物外,骑士还赠送了一把具有神奇治疗能力的剑、一面警告逆境的镜子和一枚戒指,这是送给国王女儿 Canacee 的:如果雇用的话,她会渴望得到它hi thombe 或在他的钱包里,没有任何东西在他的 stevene 下流逝,她可以理解他的 stevene。1 1
