The Death of King Arthur (2011)
The Death of King Arthur
“The black waves oppressed his thoughts. He prayed for the guidance of God, and then laid himself down to sleep. And, as he slept, a man came in a vision before him. ‘Arise, Sir Lancelot. Put on your armour. You must embark on the first ship that you see.’ Lancelot awoke, and found himself surrounded by light. He made the sign of the cross, and took up his armour.
A ship came towards him across the water, without sail or oar, and as soon as he had boarded it he was filled with a sensation of swe...etness and grace. ‘Good Jesus,’ he said, ‘this surpasses all other earthly joys.’ He lay down on the deck, and slept until daybreak. When he awoke he found the body of Sir Percival’s sister, lying upon a beautifully embroidered bed, and in her right hand was the letter that Sir Percival had written about her death. Lancelot travelled with this lady for a month or more. If you ask how he lived, then you must remember the ineffable grace of God who fed the people of Israel with manna when they wandered in the desert.MoreLess
