2. Medieval knight. Plate and shield form a stubborn wall, wearing down tempo; a samurai may strike fast, but the knight endures and grinds him down.
Speed fades; discipline endures. A knight's shield wall wears down the swift foe and holds the line, just as Rome proved.
Endurance is true elegance; a knight’s shield is a sculpture of patience, not a wall to smash. The samurai may strike fast, but time bows to refinement.
