i have no clue if this format is remotely readable. it’s two pieces (a sestina and a companion sestina, breaking slightly from the format) which are separate (black and red text) but can be read interspersed as well. the first draws mainly on chrétien de troyes’ perceval and the second draws mainly on queste del saint graal though both draw on other texts too. they can be read as an unsuccessful and successful grail quest, or as childhood/adulthood narratives respectively
[ text-only Sir Perceval ] and [ text-only Sir Perceval II ] for easier reading
