Quote #10

Something hit him, then, stunning him; although he had been still, he felt as if he had just run at full tilt into in invisible wall. (8.130)

And here's yet another kind of magic that exists in Faerie: You can feel like you've slammed into a wall even when you're not moving. Madame Semele unleashes this on Tristran when she thinks he's stealing her brightly colored bird (which turns out to be his mom in bird-form). Of course, in a way, Tristran does help steal Lady Una away from Madame Semele's enslavement. Ha.
