THIRD 10TH.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1870-03-03
NIhe Holy hrail.v

Many, doubtless, have been not little
perplexed at the meaning of these strange
" sounding words, the theme Of the new
poem with which the Laureate of England
is now delignting the lovers of poetry. We
find in one of our English exchanges this
solution:
The Holy Grail was q cup made of q sim
gle precious stone, from which the Saviour
of mankind was said to have drank at the
Last Supper. which was afterward filed
with blood flowing from his wounds on the
cross which was said to have been brought
into this country by Joseph of Arimathea.
According to the old legend, this mythical
vessel miracuously disappeared one day
from the custody of its keeper; and thence
forth it was the highest ambition Of all
worthy knights to go in search Of Z, and if
possible to effect its recovery. ''Tne Quest
of the Holy Grail" forms an important and
very beautiful part Of the old romance Of
king Arthur" compiled, in the reign of
Henry VII, by Sir Thomas Nalory-a work
from which Mr.. Tennyson has derived sew
eral of the materials of his Arthurian po-
ems. The adventure was at length achiev-
ed by Sir Galahad, the virgin knight in act
and thought. of whom Mr.. Tennyson,
years ago, wrote q charming ballad poem.
In the longer and more ambitious preduc-
ton now given to the world, the adventures
of several of Arthur's knights in their
search after the wondrous cup, are related
by Sir Percival, now become o hermit, TO
his fellow-recluse, Ambrosius. The nara
tive, however, is preceded by a shorter
poem, called THE Coming of Arthur" in
which the miraculous origin of the great
warrior-king is described
