EB Leighton, The End of the Song. Educa puzzle, 4000 pieces
The end of this puzzle, finally!
I'm pleased that although not very fond of it, I managed to complete it. This was a new puzzle experience for me in that I was caught between wasting time on a puzzle and wasting a puzzle. The puzzle won this round.
As for what happened to Tristan and Isolde after the end of the song…..Tristan left and later married another Isolde. Tristan fell gravely ill after being wounded in battle and sent for Isolde of Cornwall to cure him as she had done when they first met. He requested that the ship from Cornwall have white sails if it carried Isolde and black sails if it did not. Isolde set off in a ship with white sails. Sadly Tristan's jealous wife told him the ship that arrived had black sails. Thinking that Isolde had rejected him he died of grief before she could reach him. Upon reaching Tristan, Isolde also died of grief. It was thought however that they could not be parted even in death…from Isolde's grave grew a rose tree and from Tristan's a vine which grew around the rose tree. Each time the vine was cut down it grew again.
So they died happily ever after.
