Aw, shoot! Sean Connery...I've always been curious where that quote came from, was it The Song of Roland?

The Song of Indiana I think.

Google tells me that it's from Charlemagne and that Connery's character quotes it in "The Last Crusade'. Google could undoubtedly tell me more.

Okay, good! That's where I'm puzzled; Charlemagne was King of the Franks, later crowned Emperor, I know that, but I'm not familiar with any literary work called Charlemagne! and you've never heard of it, either?

No. I thought the same as you.

Connery probably made it up, like the mad Scotsman he is! Thanks anyway...I'm signing off for the night!
..."Rocks and trees," forsooth!

No - google says it's an actual quote from Charlemagne - and google is always right . . . sometimes.
