... When the tables were
removed, and ladies and knights met, their grief was renewed; every dame
or damsel said to her knight, that she would go in his company, and many
knights would have consented, if it had not been for an old man, drest
in robes of religion, who entered the hall, and said to the king, loud
enough for all to hear: "Listen, sirs knights, who have sworn the
quest of the Holy Grail! By me commandeth the hermit Nascien, that
no dame or damsel take part in the quest, for 't is not terrestrial, but
it shall be the beginning of the mystery of Our Lord, which He will
reveal to the good knight whom among the others hath He chosen to be his
servant, to whom shall be disclosed what heart of man hath not dreamed,
nor tongue of man told." (King Arthur and the Table Round,
Chretien-Newell, 1911)
