- In this episode I show you another of my Arthurian books and read you the next instalment of my new poem about Galahad and the Grail.
If you'd like to pop over and but me a coffee, by way of encouragement, or even, for the Arthurian feast, a flagon of mead, you can do sombre. Thanks.

I just discovered your channel Malcolm. I love reading and smoking my pipes. You have become my favorite person to listen to while I puff away...thank-you, sir
Beautifully written and masterfully delivered. The Arthurian legends live once again!
Thank you so much. Making them live again is just what I'm trying to achieve in what is turning out to be quite a big project!
Malcolm, a truly moving and inspiring poem. I'v really enjoyed your Arthurian series. My favorite Disney film growing up was the 1963 adaptation of T. H. White's novel. Your deft poetry will add yet more wonder and mystery to the myths. I do hope it will be complete and published soon. I should very much like to hold it in my hands.
Wow, thank you! yes I am definitely planning to publish it and I hope in a beautiful illustrated edition. If it all works out it will probably come out over time in several parts
This I know I will listen to more than once. This last...
Sir, you are not alone.
I too stood with my life unmade
and set my hand to hilt and blade
I know the burden on us laid,
Who draw a sword from stone.
...so moving.
I can only imagine Arthur's excitement and awe to see prophesy fulfilled before his very eyes. His heart must have been full of thanks and wonder but also laden with a bit of sadness and dread, for if I do not miss my guess, he knows this moment for rejoicing is also the beginning of mourning the end of his table. There's something about it that reminds me of the feeling I experienced in my heart the first time I read Bilbo's Last Song. Well done.
thanks, I'm glad you pulled that passage out. I was pleased with it when it came to me, and yes, I think Arthur does forknow that this is the beginning of the end, something I hint at later in that section
And so I learn of Galahad and Excalibur the brother, I had supposed of one sole King Arthur‘s sword ...and...never of another 😉
Fantastic!
A spoken book to accompany the written would be a fabulous gift to all of us who hang off the edge of seats and onto every word uttered by you, great author Malcolm.
I would quickly purchase and subscribe to your each of your finished tales.
Thanks. I have good hopes that the book, perhaps the first volume in a series, will come out next year. and yes I'll definitely try to do an audiobook to come out with it
That was fun!
I really enjoyed that. Thanks.
Glad to hear it!
Long be told in song indeed! Fabulous Malcolm!
yes indeed. Singers will always get a good press in my ballads!
I'm a little late in catching up, but It's always a pleasure to see & listen to Mr Guite and his readings. Fellow Pipe smoker and a really nice man you are 👍🏻
many thanks!
I look forward to this being completed! An epic poem of the King Pendragon and his Knights of Camelot. Will you do all of the tales like this or just the grail quest? Wonderful stuff!
all the tales I hope!
or hobbits! they were using long stem pipes and smoknig long before wizards! to the hobbits ! and may they outlast all the wizards!
Malcom Guite just found your channel think the content is awesome and good on you reiving the legends of the one and future king for me I'm a writer also nothing published as yet and I love myths primarily of our merry old England and the Vikings I intend to watch your other videos and I really enjoyed this video I'll go back and watch the previous one
Thanks Jamie, glad you're enjoying it
@@MalcolmGuitespell I do your channels cool thanks for the reply
More awesomeness
thanks!
Wonderfully sonorous.
Thanks David, I certainly want there to be a musical lilt in the poetry
Good afternoon Malcolm,
Excellent poetry, the kind that appeals to me as l tend to be a bit of a philistine where poetry is concerned.
A fine Folio edition and a bargain at the price. I was in Cambridge on Saturday and managed to get a couple of books from David's, who are still hanging on in there inspite of the pandemic.
You might like to know that there's a tobacconist in Sussex St which also sells Scotch malts...managed to pick up some pipe tobacco!
Happy puffing😁
yes I know that tobacconist well and hope to revisit it soon!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Jolly good! Though I do rater prefer Percival as Grail hero!
this is what i want to look like when im 70
I’m really looking forward to hearing more. When is the next installment?
next Monday!
May I have your full opinion of a long stem pipe sir? Perhaps you have already given your opinion, do you prefer it for more than reading? Or in general?
Will you be publishing these when they are finished Mr Guite? I look very forward to a physical copy if so!!!
yes, I'm working on that right now and hope there will eventually be a beautiful illustrated edition!
@@MalcolmGuitespell very exciting! best of luck
I need to find Mr. Guite's bookseller. Who sells books for 5£ ???
David's in Cambridge!
