A wandering minstrel I -
A thing of shreds and patches.
- Sir
William S. Gilbert, The Mikado, I
But if thou wilt be constant then,
And faithful of thy word,
I'll make thee glorious by my pen,
And famous by my sword.
- Marquis
of Montrose, My dear and only Love
Darkly rich tapestries
adorn the walls, their intricate, colorful threading weaving tales of battles
past. The delicate scent of lavender from the straw and scented herbs covering
the earthen floor, mixes and mingles with the herbal brew boiling within
the fireplace.
The pewter pottery placed
upon the long table of the hall sparkles brightly, catching and casting
off a warm glow from the fireplace. And as far as the eye can see, lay rows
upon rows of covered parchment -- bearing the history of the time . . .
Almost hidden amongst the stacks of parchment, sits the minstrel, her quill
flying, scratching out her observations of the day.
She pauses from her writings,
long enough to smile warmly, and bid you enter. She says, "I bid thee welcome,
trav'ler. Thou art welcome to enter, and rest for a spell -- or travel about
my realm freely. I leave the choice to thee . . ."
If 'tis Camelot
and the Holy Grail thou seeks, I bid thee touch ~ here ~ and ye shall be
whisked to the Land of Dreams, fair Camelot. (Links disabled
