Would she had drowned me in it�察�where'er it be��
For what am I�拭�what profits me my name
Of greatest knight�拭 �I fought for it�察�and have it��
Pleasure to have it�察�none�察�to lose it�察�pain��
Now grown a part of me�此 �but what use in it��
To make men worse by making my sin known��
Or sin seem less�察�the sinner seeming great��
Alas for Arthur's greatest knight�察�a man
Not after Arthur's heart�  �I needs must break
These bonds that so defame me�此 �not without
She wills it�此 �would I�察�if she willed it�拭�nay��
Who knows�拭�but if I would not�察�then may God��
I pray him�察�send a sudden Angel down
To seize me by the hair and bear me far��
And fling me deep in that forgotten mere��
Among the tumbled fragments of the hills。'

   So groaned Sir Lancelot in remorseful pain��
Not knowing he should die a holy man。




The Holy Grail



From noiseful arms�察�and acts of prowess done
In tournament or tilt�察�Sir Percivale��
Whom Arthur and his knighthood called The Pure��
Had passed into the silent life of prayer��
Praise�察�fast�察�and alms�察�and leaving for the cowl
The helmet in an abbey far away
From Camelot�察�there�察�and not long after�察�died。

   And one�察�a fellow´monk among the rest��
Ambrosius�察�loved him much beyond the rest��
And honoured him�察�and wrought into his heart
A way by love that wakened love within��
To answer that which came�此 �and as they sat
Beneath a world´old yew´tree�察�darkening half
The cloisters�察�on a gustful April morn
That puffed the swaying branches into smoke
Above them�察�ere the summer when he died
The monk Ambrosius questioned Percivale��

   'O brother�察�I have seen this yew´tree smoke��
Spring after spring�察�for half a hundred years��
For never have I known the world without��
Nor ever strayed beyond the pale�此 �but thee��
When first thou camestsuch a courtesy
Spake through the limbs and in the voiceI knew
For one of those who eat in Arthur's hall��
For good ye are and bad�察�and like to coins��
Some true�察�some light�察�but every one of you
Stamped with the image of the King�察�and now
Tell me�察�what drove thee from the Table Round��
My brother�拭�was it earthly passion crost��'

   'Nay��' said the knight�察�'for no such passion mine。
But the sweet vision of the Holy Grail
Drove me from all vainglories�察�rivalries��
And earthly heats that spring and sparkle out
Among us in the jousts�察�while women watch
Who wins�察�who falls�察�and waste the spiritual strength
Within us�察�better offered up to Heaven。'

   To whom the monk�此 �'The Holy Grail��I trust
We are green in Heaven's eyes�察�but here too much
We moulderas to things without I mean
Yet one of your own knights�察�a guest of ours��
Told us of this in our refectory��
But spake with such a sadness and so low
We heard not half of what he said。  What is it��
The phantom of a cup that comes and goes��'

   'Nay�察�monk� �what phantom��' answered Percivale。
'The cup�察�the cup itself�察�from which our Lord
Drank at the last sad supper with his own。
This�察�from the blessed land of Aromat
After the day of darkness�察�when the dead
Went wandering o'er Moriahthe good saint
Arimathaean Joseph�察�journeying brought
To Glastonbury�察�where the winter thorn
Blossoms at Christmas�察�mindful of our Lord。
And there awhile it bode�察�and if a man
Could touch or see it�察�he was healed at once��
By faith�察�of all his ills。  But then the times
Grew to such evil that the holy cup
Was caught away to Heaven�察�and disappeared。'

   To whom the monk�此 �'From our old books I know
That Joseph came of old to Glastonbury��
And there the heathen Prince�察�Arviragus��
Gave him an isle of marsh whereon to build��
And there he built with wattles from the marsh
A little lonely church in days of yore��
For so they say�察�these books of ours�察�but seem
Mute of this miracle�察�far as I have read。
But who first saw the holy thing today��'

   'A woman��' answered Percivale�察�'a nun��
And one no further off in blood from me
Than sister�察�and if ever holy maid
With knees of adoration wore the stone��
A holy maid�察�though never maiden glowed��
But that was in her earlier maidenhood��
With such a fervent flame of human love��
Which being rudely blunted�察�glanced and shot
Only to holy things�察�to prayer and praise
She gave herself�察�to fast and alms。  And yet��
Nun as she was�察�the scandal of the Court��
Sin against Arthur and the Table Round��
And the strange sound of an adulterous race��
Across the iron grating of her cell
Beat�察�and she prayed and fasted all the more。

   'And he to whom she told her sins�察�or what
Her all but utter whiteness held for sin��
A man wellnigh a hundred winters old��
Spake often with her of the Holy Grail��
A legend handed down through five or six��
And each of these a hundred winters old��
From our Lord's time。  And when King Arthur made
His Table Round�察�and all men's hearts became
Clean for a season�察�surely he had thought
That now the Holy Grail would come again��
But sin broke out。  Ah�察�Christ�察�that it would come��
And heal the world of all their wickedness��
;O Father� ─�asked the maiden�察 �might it come
To me by prayer and fasting�拭─  �Nay�察─�said he��
;I know not�察�for thy heart is pure as snow。;
And so she prayed and fasted�察�till the sun
Shone�察�and the wind blew�察�through her�察�and I thought
She might have risen and floated when I saw her。

   'For on a day she sent to speak with me。
And when she came to speak�察�behold her eyes
Beyond my knowing of them�察�beautiful��
Beyond all knowing of them�察�wonderful��
Beautiful in the light of holiness。
And ;O my brother Percivale�察─�she said��
;Sweet brother�察�I have seen the Holy Grail��
For�察�waked at dead of night�察�I heard a sound
As of a silver horn from o'er the hills
Blown�察�and I thought�察�'It is not Arthur's use
To hunt by moonlight��' and the slender sound
As from a distance beyond distance grew
Coming upon meO never harp nor horn��
Nor aught we blow with breath�察�or touch with hand��
Was like that music as it came�察�and then
Streamed through my cell a cold and silver beam��
And down the long beam stole the Holy Grail��
Rose´red with beatings in it�察�as if alive��
Till all the white walls of my cell were dyed
With rosy colours leaping on the wall��
And then the music faded�察�and the Grail
Past�察�and the beam decayed�察�and from the walls
The rosy quiverings died into the night。
So now the Holy Thing is here again
Among us�察�brother�察�fast thou too and pray��
And tell thy brother knights to fast and pray��
That so perchance the vision may be seen
By thee and those�察�and all the world be healed。;

   'Then leaving the pale nun�察�I spake of this
To all men�察�and myself fasted and prayed
Always�察�and many among us many a week
Fasted and prayed even to the uttermost��
Expectant of the wonder that would be。

   'And one there was among us�察�ever moved
Among us in white armour�察�Galahad。
;God make thee good as thou art beautiful�察�
Said Arthur�察�when he dubbed him knight�察�and none��
In so young youth�察�was ever made a knight
Till Galahad�察�and this Galahad�察�when he heard
My sister's vision�察�filled me with amaze��
His eyes became so like her own�察�they seemed
Hers�察�and himself her brother more than I。

   'Sister or brother none had he�察�but some
Called him a son of Lancelot�察�and some said
Begotten by enchantmentchatterers they��
Like birds of passage piping up and down��
That gape for flieswe know not whence they come��
For when was Lancelot wanderingly lewd��

   'But she�察�the wan sweet maiden�察�shore away
Clean from her forehead all that wealth of hair
Which made a silken mat´work for her feet��
And out of this she plaited broad and long
A strong sword´belt�察�and wove with silver thread
And crimson in the belt a strange device��
A crimson grail within a silver beam��
And saw the bright boy´knight�察�and bound it on him��
Saying�察 �My knight�察�my love�察�my knight of heaven��
O thou�察�my love�察�whose love is one with mine��
I�察�maiden�察�round thee�察�maiden�察�bind my belt。
Go forth�察�for thou shalt see what I have seen��
And break through all�察�till one will crown thee king
Far in the spiritual city�此─�and as she spake
She sent the deathless passion in her eyes
Through him�察�and made him hers�察�and laid her mind
On him�察�and he believed in her belief。

   'Then came a year of miracle�此 �O brother��
In our great hall there stood a vacant chair��
Fashioned by Merlin ere he past away��
And carven with strange figures�察�and in and out
The figures�察�like a serpent�察�ran a scroll
Of letters in a tongue no man could read。
And Merlin called it ;The Siege perilous�察�
Perilous for good and ill�察 �for there�察─�he said��
;No man could sit but he should lose himself�此�
And once by misadvertence Merlin sat
In his own chair�察�and so was lost�察�but he��
Galahad�察�when he heard of Merlin's doom��
Cried�察 �If I lose myself�察�I save myself� �

   'Then on a summer night it came to pass��
While the great banquet lay along the hall��
That Galahad would sit down in Merlin's chair。

   'And all at once�察�as there we sat�察�we heard
A cracking and a riving of the roofs��
And rending�察�and a blast�察�and overhead
Thunder�察�and in the thunder was a cry。
And in the blast there smote along the hall
A beam of light seven times more clear than day��
And down the long beam stole the Holy Grail
All over covered with a luminous cloud。
And none might see who bare it�察�and it past。
But every knight beheld his fellow's face
As in a glory�察�and all the knights arose��
And staring each at other like dumb men
Stood�察�till I found a voice and sware a vow。

   'I sware a vow before them all�察�that I��
Because I had not seen the Grail�察�would ride
A twelvemonth and a day in quest of it��
Until I found and saw it�察�as the nun
My sister saw it�察�and Galahad sware the vow��
And good Sir Bors�察�our Lancelot's cousin�察�sware��
And Lancelot sware�察�and many among the knights��
And Gawain sware�察�and louder than the rest。'

   Then spake the monk Ambrosius�察�asking him��
'What said the King�拭 �Did Arthur take the vow��' 

   'Nay�察�for my lord��' said Percivale�察�'the King��
Was not in hall�此 �for early that same day��
Scaped through a cavern from a bandit hold��
An outraged maiden sprang into the hall
Crying on help�此 �for all her shining hair
Was smeared with earth�察�and either milky arm
Red´rent with hooks of bramble�察�and all she wore
Torn as a sail that leaves the rope is torn
In tempest�此 �so the King arose and wen
