r, and having drunken wine, and being in the glory of his youth and with all his knights about him, called to the diviner, saying, "Prophesy." And the diviner rose up, stroking his grey beard, and spake guardedly--"There are certain events," he said, "upon the ways of Fate that are veiled even from a diviner's eyes, and many more are clear to us that were better veiled from all; much I know that is better unforetold, and some things that I may not foretell on pain of centuries of punishment. But this I know and foretell--that you will never come to Carcassonne." Instantly there was a buzz of talk telling of Carcassonne--some had heard of it in speech or song, some had read of it, and some had dreamed of it. And the king sent Arleon of the Harp down from his right hand to mingle with the Weald-folk to hear aught that any told of Carcassonne. But the warriors told of the places they had won to--many a hard-held fortress, many a far-off land, and swore that they would come to Carcassonne.
