In the battle that ensued, he received wounds that made him feel that he was very soon to die. So he ordered his loyal vassal to take his sword to the island of Avalon. There he must cast the weapon into the deep water. But the sword was part of the soul of Arthur. IN THE BATTLE THAT ENSUED HE RECEIVED WOUNDS THAT MADE HIM FEEL AS IF HE WAS GOING TO DIE SOON SO HE ORDERED HIS LOYAL VASSAL TO TAKE HIS SWORDS TO THE ISLANDS OF AVALLON THERE HE MUST CAST THE WEAPON INTO THE DEEP WATER BUT THE SWORD WAS A PART OF THE SOUL OF ARTHUR
is love for his people never ceased for one moment, and in his dying hour he left a bequest that all his people have understood and acted upon. Thus it has come to pass that the Welsh have been really unconquerable, by Saxon or Norman, or even in these twentieth century days by Teutons. Though living in a small country, they are among the greatest in the world, not in force, or in material things, but in soul. When Belgium was invaded, they not only stood up in battle against the invader, but they welcomed to their homes tens of thousands of fugitives and fed and sheltered them. Brave as lions, their path of progress has been in faithfulness to duty, industry, and patience, and along the paths of poetry, music and brotherhood. Their motto for ages has been, "Truth against the World." Now the manner of King Arthur's taking off and his immortal legacy was on this fashion: After doing a great many wonderful things, in many countries, King Arthur came back to punish the wicked man, Modred. D GOOD MAN OF COUNTRY HIS LOVE FOR THE PEOPLE NEVER CEASED FOR ONE MOMENT AND IN HIS DYING HOUR HE LEFT A BEQUEST THAT ALL HIS GOOD PEOPLE HAVE UNDERSTOOD AND ACTED UPON THUS IT HAS COME TO PASS THAT THE WELSH HAVE REALLY BEEN UNCONQUERABLE BY NORMANS AND SAXONS AND EVEN IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY DAYS OF TEETONS THOUGH LIVING IN SUCH A SMALL COUNTRY THEY ARE THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD NOT IN FORCE OR MATERIAL THINGS BUT IN SOUL WHEN BELGIUM WAS INVADED THEY NOT ONLY STOOD IN BATTLE AGAINST THE INVADER BUT THEY WELCOMED TO THEIR HOMES TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FUGITIVES AND FED AND SHELTERED THEM BRAVE AS LIONS THEIR PATH OF PROGRESS HAS BEEN IN FAITHFULNESS IN DUTY AND INDUSTRY AND PATIENCE AND AMONG THE PATHS OF POETRY MUSIC AND BROTHERHOOD THEIR MOTTO FOR AGES HAS BEEN TRUTH AGAINST THE WORLD NOW THE MANNER OF KING ARTHUR'S TAKING OFF AND HIS IMMORTAL LEGACY WAS ON THIS FASHION AFTER DOING SO MANY WONDERFUL GREAT THINGS IN MANY COUNTRIES KING ARTHUR CAME BACK TO PUNISH THE WICKED MAN MODRED
