A HOLY BANNER RAISED

A challenge has been offered, a quest accepted
My flesh to bear the cost, years of time as well
To ride across the land, in famine and drought
Searching for a holy vessel, a sacred receptacle
Brought to our island, by Joseph of Arimathea
King Arthur's soul suffers, calling for renewal
I will give my life should it be needed, for him
For he bears Excalibur, called to fulfill destiny
He is the timeless Pendragon, our truest King

I know now what the Grail is. It is the desire of the generations mingling like
water with the Blood of Christ, and caught in a fragment of Substance that is
beyond Matter! It is a little nucleus of Eternity, dropped somehow from the
outer spaces upon one particular spot!”            John Cowper Powys
