Tristan /ˈtrɪstən/ (Latin/Brythonic: Drustanus; Welsh: Drystan, Trystan; also known as Tristran, Tristram /ˈtrɪstrəm/, etc.) is one of the main characters of the Tristan and Iseult story, a Cornish hero and one of the Knights of the Round Table featuring in the Matter of Britain. He is the son of Blancheflor and Rivalen (in later versions Isabelle and Meliodas), and the nephew of King Mark of Cornwall, sent to fetch Iseult back from Ireland to wed the king. However, he and Iseult accidentally consume a love potion while en route and fall helplessly in love. The pair undergo numerous trials that test their secret affair.
Tristan makes his first medieval appearance in the early twelfth century in Celtic folklore circulating in the north of France, and Brittany in particular, which had close ancestral and cultural links with Cornwall by way of the ancient British kingdom of Dumnonia, as made clear in the story itself. Although the oldest stories concerning Tristan are lost, some of the derivatives still exist. Most early versions fall into one of two branches, the "courtly" branch represented in the retellings of the Anglo-Norman poet Thomas of Britain and his German successor Gottfried von Strassburg, and the "common" branch, including the works of the French poet Béroul and the German poet Eilhart von Oberge.
Tristan Trevor James Thompson (born March 13, 1991) is a Canadian professional basketball player with the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association. He played with the 2010–11 Texas Longhorns men's basketball team. Thompson was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 4th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.
Tristan was born in Brampton, Ontario, and is the eldest of four sons of Trevor and Andrea Thompson, who are of Jamaican descent. His brother Dishawn Thompson currently plays high school basketball in Canada where he is a highly rated prospect. He is also the cousin of former Virginia State University Trojan football standout, and current Canadian Football League Defensive Tackle Jemal Thompson of the Toronto Argonauts.
Thompson started his high-school career playing basketball at St. Marguerite d'Youville Secondary School in Brampton. After driving from Brampton twice to visit a prep school in the United States, he decided to attend Saint Benedict's Preparatory School in Newark, New Jersey for his sophomore year along with fellow University of Texas at Austin commit Myck Kabongo. He cited the increase in exposure and skill level as his reason for transferring schools.
I am the tragedy
And the heroine
I am lost And I am rescuing
The storm is come
And I am following
My name is Tristan
And I am alive
Forever young
I come from God knows where
'Cos now Im here
Without a hope or care
I am trouble
And I am troubled too
My name is Tristan
And I am alive
Sorrow by name
And sorrow by nature
Working for joy
On overtime
Stuck on a line
Of misadventure
I fear no crime
I am the victim
And the murderer
You speak of love
But Ive never heard of her
I am fucked
And I am fucking too
My name is Tristan
"Nein" dahter allez wider sich
"La stan, Tristan, versinne dich,
Niemer genim es keine war."
So wolte et ie daz herze dar;
Wider sinem willen crieget er,
Er gerte widerr, siner ger
"No," thought he, all against himself
Leave her alone, Tristan, consider this, come to your senses
It was never easy for anyone
The heart would ever have it so
He gets the opposite of what he wills
I dreamt last night that you were here again,
Tristan do you remember the death of love?
I can see clearly the past
when you called me your child
Rose from the tomb of my heart
to be crush by his light
Dark lord hold me
You control me
You should know me
By my faithful heart
Tristan
How we would dance in the shadows
So cast by the moon
Master have pity your
Child needs you blistering heat
Dark lord hold me
You control me
You should know me
By my faithful heart
Tristan
Will you return to your daughter
who burns for your touch?
Father each drop of the blood
in my viens is for you.
Dark lord hold me
You control me
You should know me
By my faithful heart
