So

they

all

took

their

harness

and

met

together

in

the

meadows

by

Camelot

,

and

the

queen

and

all

her

ladies

sat

in

a

tower

to

see

.

Then

Sir

Galahad

,

at

the

prayer

of

the

king

and

queen

,

put

on

a

coat

of

light

armour

,

and

a

helmet

,

but

shield

he

would

take

none

,

and

grasping

a

lance

,

he

drove

into

the

middle

of

the

press

of

knights

,

and

began

to

break

spears

marvellously

,

so

that

all

men

were

full

of

wonder

.

And

in

so

short

a

time

he

had

surmounted

and

exceeded

the

rest

,

save

Sir

Lancelot

and

Sir

Percival

,

that

he

took

the

chief

worship

of

the

field

.

Then

the

king

and

all

the

court

and

fellowship

of

knights

went

back

to

the

palace

,

and

so

to

evensong

in

the

great

minster

,

a

royal

and

goodly

company

,

and

after

that

sat

down

to

supper

in

the

hall

,

every

knight

in

his

own

seat

,

as

they

had

been

before

.

Anon

suddenly

burst

overhead

the

cracking

and

crying

of

great

peals

of

thunder

,

till

the

palace

walls

were

shaken

sorely

,

and

they

thought

to

see

them

riven

all

to

pieces

.

And

in

the

midst

of

the

blast

there

entered

in

a

sunbeam

,

clearer

by

seven

times

than

ever

they

saw

day

,

and

a

marvellous

great

glory

fell

upon

them

all

.

Then

each

knight

,

looking

on

his

neighbour

,

found

his

face

fairer

than

he

had

ever

seen

,

and

so

—

all

standing

on

their

feet

—

they

gazed

as

dumb

men

on

each

other

,

not

knowing

what

to

say

.

Then

entered

into

the

hall

the

Sangreal

,

borne

aloft

without

hands

through

the

midst

of

the

sunbeam

,

and

covered

with

white

samite

,

so

that

none

might

see

it

.

And

all

the

hall

was

filled

with

perfume

and

incense

,

and

every

knight

was

fed

with

the

food

he

best

loved

.

And

when

the

holy

vessel

had

been

thus

borne

through

the

hall

,

it

suddenly

departed

,

no

man

saw

whither

.

When

they

recovered

breath

to

speak

,

King

Arthur

first

rose

up

,

and

yielded

thanks

to

God

and

to

our

Lord

.

Then

Sir

Gawain

sprang

up

and

said

,

“

Now

have

we

all

been

fed

by

miracle

with

whatsoever

food

we

thought

of

or

desired

;

but

with

our

eyes

we

have

not

seen

the

blessed

vessel

whence

it

came

,

so

carefully

and

preciously

it

was

concealed

.

Therefore

,

I

make

a

vow

,

that

from

to

-

morrow

I

shall

labour

twelve

months

and

a

day

in

quest

of

the

Sangreal

,

and

longer

if

need

be

;

nor

will

I

come

again

into

this

court

until

mine

eyes

have

seen

it

evidently

.

”

When

he

had

spoken

thus

,

knight

after

knight

rose

up

and

vowed

himself

to

the

same

quest

,

till

the

most

part

of

the

Round

Table

had

thus

sworn

.
