Excerpt from In Quest of the Holy Graal: An Introduction to the Study of the Legend
Vergente mundi vespere
Novum sidus exoritur
Et clausis culpe carcere
Preco Salutis mittitur.
Doctrinam evangelicam
Spargens per orbis cardinem
Pestem fugat hereticam
Novum producens Ordinem.
In festo B.Dominici.
A Mystery from the first has enshrouded the Legend of the Graal. That the Graal was intended in some way to typify the Sacrament of the Holy Communion is abundantly clear from a thousand passages in the various versions of the story. All beyond this primary indication is indefinite, shadowy, impalpable. Yet we feel as we read that the words employed are intended to convey some deeper meaning than the fiction bears on the face of it. The romance is more than a romance.
