Rostam Waits Alone at Sunset

From B6.5, Rostam’s Message to Hamavaran. It illustrates B6.5.61–65:

B6.5.61
When Rostam heard, he armed himself again,And rode to meet the gathered ranks of men.
B6.5.62
He called for any champion to appear,And stood alone, devoid of doubt or fear.
B6.5.63
He waited long; no champion answered call,Before his challenge none came forth at all.
B6.5.64
The radiant sun sank down beneath the main,And rushing night spread darkness on the plain.
B6.5.65
Then Rostam turned and left the silent ground,And sought his tent where rest at last was found.
