Behold Rustaveli’s Knight in the Panther’s Skin:

The gathering of all epics into one.

Here shines Homer’s valor, here burns Solomon’s sacred eros, here ascends Dante’s allegory, here resounds Ferdowsi’s grandeur, here beats India’s devotion, here stirs Goethe’s striving.

Yet greater still —

For in these verses ride Faith, Hope, and Love as living knights;

tears fall as pearls of grace; wars blaze as light’s defiance of darkness; and the tale is crowned with the promise of paradise restored.
