So

all

returned

from

the

river

,

and

every

knight

sat

down

in

his

own

place

,

and

the

high

feast

and

banquet

then

was

sumptuously

begun

,

and

all

the

hall

was

full

of

laughter

and

loud

talk

and

jests

,

and

running

to

and

fro

of

squires

who

served

their

knights

,

and

noise

of

jollity

and

mirth

.

Then

suddenly

befell

a

wondrous

thing

,

for

all

the

doors

and

windows

of

the

hall

shut

violently

of

themselves

,

and

made

thick

darkness

;

and

presently

there

came

a

fair

and

gentle

light

from

out

the

Perilous

Seat

,

and

filled

the

palace

with

its

beams

.

Then

a

dead

silence

fell

on

all

the

knights

,

and

each

man

anxiously

beheld

his

neighbour

.

But

King

Arthur

rose

and

said

,

“

Lords

and

fair

knights

,

have

ye

no

fear

,

but

rejoice

;

we

have

seen

strange

things

to

-

day

,

but

stranger

yet

remain

.

For

now

I

know

we

shall

to

-

day

see

him

who

may

sit

in

the

Siege

Perilous

,

and

shall

achieve

the

Sangreal

.

For

as

ye

all

well

know

,

that

holy

vessel

,

wherefrom

at

the

Supper

of

our

Lord

before

His

death

He

drank

the

wine

with

His

disciples

,

hath

been

held

ever

since

the

holiest

treasure

of

the

world

,

and

wheresoever

it

hath

rested

peace

and

prosperity

have

rested

with

it

on

the

land

.

But

since

the

dolorous

stroke

which

Balin

gave

King

Pelles

none

have

seen

it

,

for

Heaven

,

wroth

with

that

presumptuous

blow

,

hath

hid

it

none

know

where

.

Yet

somewhere

in

the

world

it

still

may

be

,

and

may

be

it

is

left

to

us

,

and

to

this

noble

order

of

the

Table

Round

,

to

find

and

bring

it

home

,

and

make

of

this

our

realm

the

happiest

in

the

earth

.

Many

great

quests

and

perilous

adventures

have

ye

all

taken

and

achieved

,

but

this

high

quest

he

only

shall

attain

who

hath

clean

hands

and

a

pure

heart

,

and

valour

and

hardihood

beyond

all

othermen

.

”

While

the

king

spoke

there

came

in

softly

an

old

man

robed

all

in

white

,

leading

with

him

a

young

knight

clad

in

red

from

top

to

toe

,

but

without

armour

or

shield

,

and

having

by

his

side

an

empty

scabbard

.

The

old

man

went

up

to

the

king

,

and

said

,

“

Lord

,

here

I

bring

thee

this

young

knight

of

royal

lineage

,

and

of

the

blood

of

Joseph

of

Arimathea

,

by

whom

the

marvels

of

thy

court

shall

fully

be

accomplished

.

The

king

was

right

glad

at

his

words

,

and

said

,

“

Sir

,

ye

be

right

heartily

welcome

,

and

the

young

knight

also

.

”

Then

the

old

man

put

on

Sir

Galahad

(

for

it

was

he

)

a

crimson

robe

trimmed

with

fine

ermine

,

and

took

him

by

the

hand

and

led

him

to

the

Perilous

Seat

,

and

lifting

up

the

silken

cloth

which

hung

upon

it

,

read

these

words

written

in

gold

letters

,

“

This

is

the

seat

of

Sir

Galahad

,

the

good

knight

.

”

“

Sir

,

”

said

the

old

man

,

“

this

place

is

thine

.
