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!
