CHAPTER THIRTEEN
THE BATTLE OF BRANDOBAR
Annotated English version
However, I find that this climactic chapter has already received extensive treatment. See here.
Since it is nearly midnight on this part of the Earth's surface, I will sleep on this matter and add new thoughts, if any, tomorrow.
Good night. Glory to the Emperor. Fair winds forever. High is heaven and holy.

Kaor, Paul!
As you may already know from the other links, I was so impressed by Anderson's poem "The Battle of Brandobar" that I coped it out into my pretentiously titled CODEX ANDERSONIANUS. And I really wish the collection of Anderson's poems, STAVES, had included not only "The Battle of Brandobar," but also "Mary O'Meara," and "The Queen of Air and Darkness." That would have made STAVES far more complete a collection!

Sean,
"The Battle of Brandobar" is incomprehensible without its "annotations" so it is a curious mixture of verse and prose.

Kaor, Paul!
I do see what you mean, so any collection of Anderson's poems including "The Battle of Brandobar" would probably have to include the prose "annotations." Or would those annotations be thought to needlessly clutter up such a collection?

Sean,
I think that the "annotations" are necessary for the meaning.
