Bernard Cornwell Quotes

My Banner Was Behind Me And That Banner Would Attract Ambitious Men. They Wanted My Skull As A Drinking Cup, My Name As A Trophy. They Watched Me As I Watched Them And They Saw A Man Covered In Mud, But A Warlord With A Wolf-crested Helmet And Arm Rings Of Gold And With Close-linked Mail And A Cloak Of Darkest Blue Hemmed With Golden Threads And A Sword That Was Famous Throughout Britain. Serpent-Breath Was Famous, But I Sheathed Her Anyway, Because A Long Blade Is No Help In The Shield Wall's Embrace, And Instead I Drew Wasp-Sting, Short And Lethal. I Kissed Her Blade Then Bellowed My Challenge At The Winter Wind.
"Come And Kill Me! Come And Kill Me!"
And They Came.
