And from all woes relieve us;
That we the treasure
May reap of pleasure,
And shun whate’er is grievous,”
Tag: Mittelmarche
The Middle Marches, also known as the Mittelmarch, are a fictional land found in the Von Bek series of novels written by Michael Moorcock. They are described as “the world in between heaven and ours”.

Jewel gave herself the once over and decided the truth would just have to do. “I’m the treasure seeking kind.”
