“This is how the bow wounds! To death, to havoc, to ruin!”
“[He] made ready for combat; and he took forth the arrow that was given to him of the Simurgh, and he let it fly towards his enemy.”
“[W]hen he had shot his bolt and had smitten one in the throng, then would that man fall where he was and give up his life...”
“If the hawk is flying to his nest, we two will shoot down the fledgeling with our gilded arrows.”
“[An arbalest] is not drawn with the right hand, ... but by placing the feet upon the weapon itself, and pulling with the whole force of the body; and it despatches arrows called bolts, of hard wood pointed with iron, which the strength of the bow can send through the strongest breastplates, and even through stone walls, where not of uncommon thickness.”
“Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you.”
