MISERICORDE, n. A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.

I thought of myself as a species of knight errant attacking dragons single-handedly and rescuing musical virtue in distress.

A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
