Yes, I have sent my translation to Gordon on Monday. I hope soon he'll entertain us with the full report. Meanwhile, to tease you I can give you the original (anyway, already recognized by many) and the last version (my translation). The original passage from "The Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beagle: He cupped his hands for the Princess Alison Jocelyn, and she climbed wearily and in some bewilderment to the saddle. Schmendrick turned the horse, saying, "You will surely overtake him with ease, for he will be riding slowly. He is a good man, and a hero greater than any cause is worth. I send all my princesses to him. His name is Lir." And the final outcome: With his hand moving wearily and slowly towards the saddle, Schmendrick made a hole in Alison Jocelyn, the penultimate princess. He turned the horse and said: "No doubt, soon you'll easily transcend in his qualities. Thus, he is a slow rider. In the way of valour, he is great and braver than any deserved battle reward. I have already granted him to all penultimate princesses who are my daughters. His name is Evil Eye." No comments. mi'e .evgenis.
