“Alexander loves and desires her who is sighing for his love. ... Their love grows and increases continually; but the one feels shame before the other; and each conceals and hides this love so that neither flame nor smoke is seen from the gleed beneath the ashes. But the heat is none the less for that; rather the heat lasts longer below the gleed than above it.” Chrétien de Troyes (Translation: L.J. Gardiner); Cliges; Cooper Square Publishers; 1966.
