Questing Beast
by Murdoch
The Once and Future King is a masterpiece of nostalgia. That is its power, its genius and its failure. It longs for a better, imperfect but still noble age. An age where tragedy was possible, and where doomed wars were waged for doomed love.
The lesson, though, is that there can be no return. That, while we seek the past, and we know that it was, it forever eludes us.
Wisest is Merlyn, whose past is the future.
Finest is Lancelot, who can only go forward.
Weakest is Arthur, trapped in childhood dreams.
And the past is a questing beast.
