Give me Thy Quest! Show me the Sangreal, Lord!"

He lay upon a mountain's rocky crest,

So high, that all the glittering, misty world,

All summer's splendid tempests, lay below,

And sudden lightnings quivered at his feet;

So still, not any sound of silentness

Expressed the silence, nor the pallid sun

Burned on his eyelids; all alone and still,

Save for the prayer that struggled from his lips,

Broken with eager stress. Then he arose.
