The Gothic Quest
Excerpt from The Gothic Quest
And always the quest failed, for the Grail had been taken up into heaven, and their eyes, seared with blown sand and blind with long watching, were to see it never again, nor their hands unclasp from bridle or sword or spear to touch in reverence the Wonder of their worship. The quest failed, as men count failure, but it brought to all brave, knightly adventure and the doing of great deeds of chivalry, while over all the world it poured a radiance of poetry and devotion such as men had never seen nor were to see again.
