in the case of a knight who ventures to the lakeside, not for combat but for the solace found in fishing, let him not neglect the virtues that the still waters teach. even as his thoughts linger on duties pre-committal, he must remember to cast his line with patience, for oftentimes the greatest victories are those unexpressed, found in the peace beneath the surface. should he find his efforts fruitless, let him not despair but go back to the beginning, to the quiet joy of anticipation and the silent conversation between man and nature.
