d 17 THE TALE OF IGOR Most truly said the great Boyan : "The most cunning of men shall not escape punishment, nor the most wise, nor yet a bird, nor yet a poet. " HE said it of Vseslav, son of Bryasislav, who, being imprisoned, by his cunning and his wizardry escaped from captivity, and so, fleeing from his enemies, caused a blue cloud to hide him from their pursuit. Swift as a wild animal he ran through the forest, bursting the cords that bound him. He conquered Novgorod and King Yaroslav and
...at last hied him to Kiev, to conquer the golden throne.
A BLOODY harvest reaped he on the Nemisa. The sheaves were heads of men. Swords threshed the human wheat. In the barns was death garnered and the soul separated from the chaff of the flesh. Yet was Vseslav a good prince. Though he gave the cities to the princes he himself rested not, but leaped like a grey wolf from Kiev to Tmuto- rokan. In the name of the Cross he subdued the worshippers of Khors, and for him the chimes rang in the churches of Kiev.
