The grail appears to me
So here I am, game canceled, with a giant pizza and beer and nobody here. At least I'm not starving or dying of cancer or something like that. So go me!
I had students today discussing their papers *with each other*, and reminded myself of the mystic passage of Mallory wherein the Grail first appears. "Now, said he, servants of Jesu Christ, ye shall be fed afore this table with sweet meats that never knights tasted."
I stared at them as they spoke, not pitching to the Teacher as Jamie likes to put it, but talking amongst themselves, and tried to keep the image in my eye-mind.
This is the goal, the high holiness which we seek: to bring students into the Great Conversation which comprises the intellectual life of world civilization.
Then looked they and saw a man come out of the
Holy Vessel, that had all the signs of the passion of Jesu
Christ, bleeding all openly, and said: My knights, and
my servants, and my true children, which be come out of
deadly life into spiritual life, I will now no longer hide me
from you, but ye shall see now a part of my secrets and of
my hidden things: now hold and receive the high meat which
ye have so much desired.
