THE FALSE GAWAIN. A Study Bead by Mr. O. F. Adams Before II U Class in EngliAh Literature April 28, 181. I. The knights of the Table Round were by no means men of singleness of purpese and loftiness or -aim ana taoreugniy in sympathy. with the designs of the blame less king, their head, bat men who had been fused together at first in the glow of feeling, and who, alas, were deemed te fall asunder when the heat died out. At Arthur's marriage feast " in stainlf s wliiin, The lair beginners et a nobler time. And glorying in their vows and him, his knights , Steed reand him and rejoicing in his joy. And holy Dubric spread his hands and spake, Keign ye, and live and lore, and make tbe world Other, and may thy queen be one with thee. And all the order of thy Table Keund Fulfill the boundless purpose or, their king." On the threshold of a great enterprise where all hearts seem united, Hepe beck ons en her followers with joyous anticipa tion, and disaster and defeat are undream ed of. Se was it in this instance. The knights were all unsuspicious of their own inurmity of purpose, ami it appeared a comparatively easy task te persevere in the fulfillment of their vows in which we are told that they gloried, but nevertheless there lay even new a faint shadow across the threshold ever which Hepe lured them en, for the new queen was net " one' with her lord. Wheu 'King Lood Leod Loed ogran had consented that his daughter Guinevere should marry Arthur, the latter had send the bravest of his knights, Sir Lancelet, the Fl.ir of Chivalry, te briug her te his court .jail she, mistaking lum for Arthur, had let herself love the mes senger, aud when undeceived the love was net te be recalled. But all this was unsuspected, aud the two strove yet te be loyal, the one te his king aud the ether te her lord. " And Arthur and his knighthood for a space Were all ei.e will, and thre' that strength the king Drew iu the petty princedoms under him, Fought, and in twelve great battles overcame The heathen hordes and made :i realm and rcign'd. There lay the secret of success, for they were "all one will." Afterwards when the greatest of the work seemed te be done, there came au opportunity for the display of in dividual frailties and passions, which there had net been leisure for before, for, after all, the greatest of the work remained in complete since few of the knights had conquered themselves. In the bitter re proaches of the king ter Guinevere, lying low before his feet in shame and humility, wc learn of what the knights had sworn te de. " I made them lay their hands in mine and swear Te reverence the king, as if he were Their conscience, una their conscience ns their king. Te break the heathen and upheld the Christ, Te ride abroad redressing Human wrongs. Te speak no slander, no, nor listen te it, Te lead sweet lives in purest chastity. Te leve one maiden only, cleave te her. And worship her by years of noble deeds, Until they wen her; for Indeed I knew Ot no mere subtle nassien under heaven Than U the maiden passion ter a maid. Net only te keep down the base In man, " But teach high thought, and amiable words And ceuitliness. and the desire et lame, Aud love et truth, and nil that makes a man !" High-hearted purpose, worthy of a king, but the tiny shadow unperceived at first e'ersprcad at length the whele lair do de sign. "And all luii throve until 1 wedded thee ! Believing Me mine helpmate, one te feel My purpose, and rejoicing In my joy.' Then came thy shanictul sin with Lancelet ; Then came the sin of Tristram aud Iselt. Then ethers, following these my mightiest knights, And drawing teul ensample from fair names, Sinn'dalse." When the heathen were at last over come and the heat of incessant action had passed, the glow of feeling that ani mated the commonness of purpese of the one hundred and fifty knights of the Table Round had likewise faded out in most hearts, save in simple natures like that of the geed Sir Bers, and in fresh, pure hearts like these, of Gareth, Perci valc and Galahad. The love of Lancelet for Guinevere, se long a secret, was new known te all the court except the sweet Sir Pel leas and the blameless king and a rank growth of sin sprang up in the shel ter of this one. Of the knights of the Table Round three were Arthur's nephews, the soiiBef his sister Bellicent, the queen of Orkney, Medred, Gawain and Gareth. Medred, the eldest, was moody and sullen, one in whom small injuries rankled "and ruffled all his heart. As the sharp wind that ruffles all day long A little bitter peel about a stone On the bare coast" and it was he who made himself the direct cause of the king's downfall, as Lancelet was the indirect. Gareth, the youngest, was the tallest of the three, a lad of a pure, generous spirit, in whom baseness could have no part. Between the two was Gawain " a prince In the mldmight and flourish et his May, Gawain, surnamed the courteous, lair and strong. And after Lancelet, Tristram and Geraint, And Laineratke, a geed knight, but there withal Sir Medred's brother, el a crafty house. Net often loyal te his word." It was he whom Arthur sent iu quest of the unknown knight, who, in the tourna ment, had wen "The last great diamond of the namelcts king" with orders te deliver te him the jewel, and te return net till the quest was ended. He was little pleased at his errand, prefer ring the excitement of the court te doing the bidding of his king, but, with smiling face and wrathful heart, he went and rode through " all the region round " until he came te Astelat, where the lily maid awaited the return of Sir Lancelet and Lavaine, and te her father he explained that he was commissioned te find the knight who had wen the prize in the great tournament, 'but hail ridden wildly round Te beck him and was wearied with the search." He was a lever of his ease, this fine Ga wain, net bard te be swayed from his pur pur pur eoeo by circumstances and for the present it suited mere with his disposition te ac cept the proffered hospitality of the Lord of Astelat and remain his guest till they should hear farther than te continue his quest, for, said the old man, "Heeds must we hear. Te this the courte ous prince Accorded with his wonted courtesy, Courtesy witb a touch et traitor In it, And st ay'd; and cast his eyes en fair Elaine ; Where could be found lace dainter ? then her shape Frem forehead down te feet perfect again Frem feet te forehead exquisitely turned ; Well it I bide, le I this wild flower ter me !' And oft they met among the garden yews, And there he set himself te play upon her with sallying wit, tree nasnes iron a neignt Above her, graces et the court, and songs, Sighs, ami slew smiles, and golden eloquence And amorous adulation.' Well practised was the courteous, trai tor knight in the art of beguiling inno cence, as perfect a master of such lore as the wily Vivien was mistress in her degree, but when he saw the shield the knight had left with Elaine and knew it te be Sir Lan Lan ceeot's, his purpose was changed since Lancelet was the stronger. "Far belt ferme Te cress our mighty Lancelet in his leres ! And, damsel, for I deem you knew full well Where your great knight Is hidden, let me leave Mv quest with you : the diamond also. Then he cave. And slightly kissed the hand te which he gave The diamond, and all wearied of the quest Leapt en bis horse, and carelling as be went A true-love ballad, lightly rode away." That was his gay parting. Ne mere was he te see her till " Under tower and balcony. By garden wall and gallery, A gleaming shape she floated by, A cerse between the houses high, Silent Inte Camelet." It is like the light, frothy nature of the man that when he saw her next,, we only knew of him that "lie ciime and wender'd at her." Lancelet mused at her, and we knew his feeling; the 'queen "pitied ;" Percivale and Galahad bore her ' reverently ;" but this man only " came and wondered at her." With light excuse he lays the re sult of his search before the king en his return. " I failed te find him, the' I rode all round The rcirlen : but I lighted en the maid. Whose sleeve he JKtycY she levaa hifn,i4 te- her ' 1 ' ' '' ' Deeming our eeurresy is the truest law I gave the diamond ; she will render it ; Fer by mine heJfl she knows its hiding-place." Careless, selfish natures easily satisfy themselves of the wisdom of their course, and take it as a personal affront that ethers are net as easily satisfied. There is noth ing like the union of selfishness te essen tially light trifling natures for blunting the moral perceptions. " The seldom frowning king frowned and re plied. Toe courteous truly ! Yeu shall go no mera On quest et mine, seeing that you forget Obedience is the ceurUsv due te kings.' He spake and parted. Wroth but all in awe, Fer twenty strokes el the bleed, without a word, Llnger'd that ether, staring after him ; Then shook his hair, strode eir and buzz'd abroad About the maid of Astelat and her love." Anether glimpse of Gawain we have when the knights, hearing of the virien of the Hely Grail seen by the nuu, the sister of the meek Sir Pereivale, have sworn te ride ' A twelve month and a day in quest of it. And Gawain swore and louder than the rest." Later, when the time was ended aud the knights ic turning told te Arthur what they had seen, the king asked "OtGanain, 'Gawain, was this quest for thee:' 'Xay, lord.' said Gawain, 'net for such as I. Therefore I communed with n saintly man. Who made me sure the Quest was net ler mc. Fer I was much uwearied or t lie Quest , But found a silk pavilion in the field. And merry maideus in it; and then this gulc Tere my pavilion lreui the tenting pin, And blew my merry maidens all about With all discomfort ; ye i and hut for this. My twelve month and a day were pleasant te me.' " The kiug makes no answer te this 'perfumed Paris" of his court and em boldened by this silence which .is a con temptuous oue, though Gawain perceived it net, the latter speaks again. "' O king, my liege,' he bald. Hath Gawain failed in anv quest of thine ? When have I stinted stroke in feughtcn field? But as ler thine, my geed friend Percivale. Thy holy nun ami thou have driven men mad. Yea, made our mightiest madder than our least, But by mine eyes and by mine ears I swear, 1 will be dealer than the blue-eye I cat. And thrice as blind as any noonday owl, Te helv virgins in their cestasie, llenceterwaid.' ' Deafer,' said the blameless kiug, ' Gawain, and bliuder unto holy things Hepe net te make thyself by idle vows, Beiugtoe blind te have desire te see.' " But the fine Gawain was net all knave at heart, else had he never formed ene of table Table Round, and his spirit, though net finely touched nor te fine issues, could yet vibrate in response te the call of knightly valor as etice wheu "Bound upon solitary adventure, he saw Lew down beneath the shadow el these towers A- villainy, three te ene: and thre' his heart The lire et honor and all noble deeds Flash'd and he called, 'I strike upon thy side The caitifis !' ' Nay,' said Pclleas, 'but forbear; He needs no aid who doth his lady's will.' Se Gawain, looking at the villainy done. Forbore, but iu his heart and eagerness Trembled and quivcr'd, as the deg, withheld A moment from the vermin that lie sees Before him, shivers, ere he.springs and kills." It is pleasant te record this noble indig nation in se faulty a man ; pleasant te de tect the presence of a thread of fine geld, though ' ever se slender, mingling itself with the baser metal of his nature. Upen the story of the sweet Sir Pellcas, we need net dwell at length. He loved and hopelessly the scornful Etcrrc. Slights innumerable she had placed upon him, and deemed hi in te many indignities all of which he bore most patiently for "'These be the ways et ladies,' Pel leas thought 'Te these who love them, trials of our laith. Tea, let her prove me te the uttermost. Fer loyal te ihe utte rmest am I." With this boy knight, the youngest of the Table Round, and of these that Arthur made " te fill the gap Lclt by the Hely Quest," the fine Gawain makes an agreement that in three days he will engage te turn the maiden's heart toward Pelleas, pledging himself by the honor of the Table Round, an almost empty pledge in these late days had Pellcas but known it. The scheme was briefly this. He was te take' the horse I and arms of Sir Pellcas and enter the castle of the scornful lady declaring he had slain him, and then " from prime te ves pers" he would sing the praises of Sir Pellcas until her heart was turned and she should long te have him alive again. Per haps at this time no thought of treachery entered Ga wain's hcait. He may have fully meant te carry out his premise te his friend, trusting te his own graces of speech aud moved by a sort of pity for the bey. " Then Pellcas lent his horse and all his arms, Saving the goodly sword, his prize, and took G a wain's, and said, 'Betray me net, but help Art thou net he whom men call light of love?' 'Ay,' said Gawain, 'for women be se light.' " As he had foreseen en declaring that he had slaiu Sir Pellcas he was readily admit ted te the presence of Etarre, te whom he repeated what he had said before the castle walls. " 'Pity en him, she answered, ' a geed knight, But never let me bide eue hour in peace." Ay,' thought Gawain, 'and ye be lair enew ; But 1 te your dead man have given my troth. That whom ye loathe, him will I make you love." This last does net leek likn premeditated treachery and se far, I think, we may ac quit him. But the three days passed heavily with Sir Pelleas waitine " until the third night brought a moon With premiso of large light en weeds and ways." Then fellows one of theso charming passages where, narrative is interwoven with exquisite description, the quiet tone of the whole being, as it were, the hushed pause before the shameful denouement : " The night was het ; he could net rest, but rode Ere midnight te her, walls, and bound his horse Hard by the gates. Wide open were the gates. And no watch kept, and in thre' these he nast. And heard but his own steps and his own heart Beating, for nothing moved but bu own self And his own shadow. Then lie crest the court. . . And saw the postern portal also wide lawnlng : and op aslope et garden, all or roses white and red, and wild ones mix'd And overgrowing them, went en. and leui d Here tee, all hushed below the mellow moon, Save that one rivulet from a liny cave Came lightening downward, and se spilt iUeit Among the roses and was lest again." The treachery of Gawain you fetesee and close upon Pelleas's discovery of this comes one of these passages which help te make this idyl of Pelleas and Etarre the most dramatic of the tea. " Then he turn'd and laid sword athwart their naked The naked threats. There left it and them sleeping : and she lay, The circlet of the tourney round ber brews. And the sword et the tenrney across ber threat." ' Maddened with his discovery, and with all the sweetness of his nature turned te bitterness, he rushed forth and meeting sometime after tbe meek sir Percivale, he learnedfremhimthatneithcrwasGuinevere sinless, nor Lancelet without blot, these whom Sir Pelleas reverenced above all the world beside. Henceforward there was no peace or rest for Pelleas, since, if the highest names were net without a stain, his faith in parity and goodness no longer remained. On his way te Camelet he met Sir Lancelet, closed with him, and was overthrown and after passed into the city into the presence of The queen. The lat ter learning from Lancelet that he and Pelleas have fought, but net the reasons why,attcrapts te seethe the latter's ruffled mooch- - " math the great heart Of knighthood im thee iall'd Se far thou canst' net bide, unfrewardly, A fall from him ?' Then, for he answer'd net, Or hast then ether grids ? If I, the queen. Slay help them, loose thy tongue and let me ' knew.' " Net one of the ten idyls closes mere powerfully than this of Pelleas and Etarre. that of the Last Tournament approaching it most nearly in vigor and dramatic force. "But Pelleas lifted up an eye se fierce Shcquail'd ; and lie, hissing 'I have no sword,' Sprang from the deer into the dark. The queen Looked hard upon ber lever, he en her ; And each foresaw the dolorous day te be ; And ail talk died, as in a grove all song Beneath the shadow of some bird of prey ; Then a long silence came upon the hall, And Medred thought, ' The time is hard at hand." I de net think I am mistaken in my es timate, of this shuddering ending of a mournful story as one of the very finest passages that Tennyson has ever written. We have in this paper examined mero or less imperfectly the character of Gawain as developed iu one and another of the idyls. We have seen him a careless, pleasure loving knight, net devoid of geed impulses, but easily influenced by circum stances and loving the gratifications of his own desires beyond everything else. He is faithless te the behests of the king, deeming strict obedience of less import ance than his own love of ease, and we have seen him shrink back from the quest ei the iieiy until because be leupa it a hard and wearisome task. Lastly we find him forgetful of his premiso te Sir Pelleas in the smiles and blandishments of a fair woman. His is net a hard character te read. It is net wilfully bad, but lackB the power of sustaining principle. Many of his impulses are generous, but there is no resolution behind them, and when the moment comes te test their strength, le ! they are as ropes of sand and he is at the mercy of circumstances. The Gawains of actual life are net few. We meet them every day. They are these whom our Saviour had in mind in the parable of the sewer, when speaking of the seed sewn by the wayside. They are men of shallow, outwardly generous, natures, loving and impulsive, ready te de a geed action should it net compromise their own case tee much, first and foremost in any loud sounding enterprise, but skulking te the rear when the difficulties are te be en countered. Se long as their selfish ends are net disturbed, se long as they are net exposed te seventy of temptation they pabs for geed men enough, albeit of a rather trifling and unsubstantial texture, but some day the Gawains, who have sought only their .own gratifications in this world, must realize the emptiness of all, and as once " the ghost et tiawain blown Along a wandering wind Went shrilling, 'Hellew, hollow, all delight,' " se in the last dark hour may there be the answering echo in their hearts : " Hellew, hollow, all delight."
