First words
The Arthurian legend is the axis of English dreamtime, a mythology that we absorb as children long before we learn the names of our contemporary regents and prime-ministers.
- Introduction, Alan Moore
In his one hand a holly twig,
That is greenest when groves are bare,
And an axe in his other,
A huge and prodigious one,
A weapon merciless almost beyond description.
