How Sir Launcelot Came Forth1 From the Enchanted2 Castle of the Lake and Entered Into the World Again, and How King Arthur Made Him Knight3.
Of the springtime of long ago.
I know not any time of the year that is more full of joyfulness4 than the early summer season; for that time the sun is wonderfully lusty and strong, yet not so very hot; that time the trees and shrubs7 are very full of life and very abundant of shade and yet have not grown dry with the heats and droughts of later days; that time the grass is young and lush and green, so that when you walk athwart the meadow-lands it is as though you walked through a fair billowy lake of magical verdure, sprinkled over with a great multitude of little flowers; that time the roses are everywhere a-bloom, both the white rose and the red, and the eglantine is abundant; that time the nests are brimful of well-fledged nestlings, and the little hearts of the small parent fowls8 are so exalted9 with gladness that they sing with all their mights and mains, so that the early daytime is filled full of the sweet jargon10 and the jubilant medley11 of their voices. Yea; that is a goodly season of the year, for though, haply, the spirit may not be so hilarious12 as in the young and golden springtime, yet doth the soul take to itself so great a content in the fulness of the beauty of the world, that the heart is elated with a great and abundant joy that it is not apt to feel at another season.
