I find the original blazons much more interesting, not just because of the
fascinating differences in language and orthography, but also because of the
much more detailed descriptions. Here, the original tells us the naked tree
trunk should go from the bottom to the centre, and then in the upper part should
show its green bows and twigs. In modern German all that has disappeared.
