Four Arthurian Romances Summary

You'll learn

• 1True nobility is an inherent quality of the soul that remains visible even through the rags of poverty.
• 2Legitimacy is not granted by a crown or a command but is earned through the endurance of pain and the courage to protect others in secret.
• 3The only way to achieve a renown that lasts is to walk willingly toward the thing that terrifies you most.
• 4True intimacy requires the total sacrifice of your public identity and the willingness to vanish from the world of men.
• 5True restoration comes only after you have been completely humbled and your pride has been stripped away.
• 6True honor is a private sacrifice where the highest form of strength is the willingness to be seen as weak for the sake of a loved one.
• 7Physical strength is useless against the silence of a lover and the punishing demands of a love that asks for everything and promises nothing.
