Book One
Tristan

"This, to me? This, Tristan, to me? Whither has loyalty fled now that Tristan has betrayed me? What price now honor and honesty, now that the champion of all honor, Tristan, has lost it? As Tristan appointed himself its emblem, where has virtue flown to, fleeing from my friend, from Tristan, who has betrayed me?"
King Marke, translated from William Richard Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, Act II Scene 3
