Samurai death poem:One day you are born
you die the next--
today,
at twilight,
autumn breezes blow.
Had I not known
that I was dead
already
I would have mourned
my loss of life.

Kight death:
Now Roland feels tnat the end of his life has come. He has lain down on a steep hill with his face toward Spain and with one hand he beats his breast:
"God. I acknowledge my guilt and i beg for Thy mercy for all the sins, greater and lesser, which I have committed from the hour of my birth until this day when I lie here over come by death!"
He has held out his right glove to God.
Angels descend out of heaven and come to him.
