Saint George
George
also: Sankt Georg
The dragon-slaying knight-saint; at the kneeling virgin's night-long prayer he breaks out of the morning-grey, 'far too terrible, yet implored,' to meet the dragon.
Reading notes
- New Poems: The Other Part §67 dragon
The dragon of the Saint George legend; the virgin keeps vigil over it through the night, not knowing why it watches, until George rides out of the dawn to meet it.
