  • Verse 1
    When 
    we 
    were children, 
    we 
    found 
    a knight 
    in the 
    back 
    garden; just 
    beyond 
    a patch 
    of scrub 
    grass, and 
    hidden 
    by 
    green 
    laurel leaves. 
    The first 
    thing 
    that 
    struck 
    us 
    was 
    how 
    tiny he 
    was, 
    like a jockey 
    or another 
    child, and 
    realise 
    now that 
    his delicate 
    frame 
    could 
    only 
    have 
    been 
    nour
    ished 
    by mediaeval 
    foods; turnips, 
    blood 
    sausage, perhaps 
    songbirds 
    roasted 
    in 
    a thin, 
    toxic 
    sauce of mercury. 
    He looked 
    pained, 
    pinched- 
    in, 
    fanatical. 
    He waited 
    stock- still 
    on 
    his horse, 
    seeming 
    to absorb 
    the light from 
    around 
    him; blanched 
    like an 
    underexposed photograph, 

    with the 
    blues and 
    purples 
    of Edwardian 
    illustrations, 
    faded 
    through 
    the years 
    into an 
    otherworldly, sun- infused 
    palette of 
    the distant 
    past. 
    He was separate 
    from 
    the light 
    and 
    the 
    shadow 
    of 
    the 
    garden, and 
    he 
    sat in 
    an obvious 
    posture of 
    hesitation 
    and - it seemed- 
    slight disdain, 
    without 
    seeing or reacting 
    to 
    us. We were 
    shocked, and 
    milled 
    around 
    him with 
    hushed 
    respect. 
    On 
    other days 
    we 
    found 
    him drenched, 
    with rain 
    drilling 
    the laurel 
    leaves, 
    streaking 
    long, 
    dim 
    lines down 
    the sides 
    of 
    his 
    face, before 
    our 
    mother 
    called us 
    in from 
    the wet, and 
    we 
    left 
    him to 
    his 
    meditation. 

    Verse 2
    Stitched 
    in
    to the 
    pommel of 
    his saddle 
    was 
    his name, 
    Roland. 
    He 
    never moved 
    from 
    the 
    bottom of 
    the 
    garden, and 
    we visited 
    him 
    less 
    and less. 
    The last 
    time I saw 
    him 
    I was 
    8 years old, 
    and 
    a burning summer 
    day 
    had bleached 
    the grasses 
    and dried 
    the moss 
    on the 
    lawn. He 
    was there 
    but not there, 
    as usual, 

    the wrong 
    colour and 
    shape 
    for 
    the 
    oppressive 
    light, the heat 
    that made 
    the new 
    tent I had 
    pitched 
    an uninhabitable 
    furnace. 
    I thought 
    his 
    face had 
    changed a 
    little, as 
    if he was 
    exhausted 
    by the 
    long trek 
    through 
    the years, 
    from 
    laying King 
    Arthur to rest 
    by the 
    sea on a fresh, 
    chilly 
    evening, to 
    seeing the 
    Pre- Raphael
    ites paint 
    the same 
    scene wrongly 
    nine centuries 
    later. But 
    maybe 
    it was me 
    who was becoming 
    tired. By September, 
    was 
    ill; when I returned, 
    he'd gone.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
