In this ancient garden of stone, it seems to be perpetual night. Here the forgotten names of a deceased line are etched into rock faces. And who are these restless forms, drifting among the cobblestones?

  Greetings, weary one. I am the keeper of this place, a guardian if you will. Long ago I was a member of the great House who dwelled here, now I spend my time here among the dreamers of yesterday. You may come, rest for awhile among us, remember us.

HIC IACET ARTHURUS, REX
QUONDAM, REXQUE FUTURUS
Here lies Arthur, who was king and king will be again
.
.
Tis better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all.

Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbare
To dig the dust enclosed here.
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
.
.
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death
Horseman, pass by!
