CONVERSATION, by                    
First Line: Was there an arthur who looking up saw a slender woman with a voice of music?
Last Line: Mercy to patrick! So shall your soul when you die.


Was there an Arthur who looking up saw a slender woman with a voice of music?
What a question! What a question! You are he.

Did he have a sword Excalibor as steel-blue flame and sharper than the edges of
a gale?
Flame is thy blood, and keen thy mind.

It cannot be. Galahad was his knight who saw the grail.
Mercy to Patrick! So shall your soul when you die.
