Castilla by Tomás Borrás
I finished Purity of Blood yesterday. This is the frontspiece. I couldn’t find anything about it online so I’m not sure if it’s a poem or if this is the text in its entirety.
Castilla
By Tomás Borrás
Glory and honor blazoned on the quarters
of the escutcheon, hidalgos, poets, priests,
fabulous Americas, ladies-in-waiting.
galleys that apprehend the infidel,
gibbets by the roadside, adventures,
and swords flashing on every corner.
