“Beyond the River of the Blessed, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Avalon. Our swords were shattered in our hands and we hung our shields on the oak tree. The silver towers were fallen, into a sea of blood. How many miles to Avalon? None, I say, and all. The silver towers are fallen.”

This reminded me of the story of Nimue, The Lady of the Lake. Specifically the song Karliene made about it a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NcgP7b-Eak. I had an idea for a board game once based on it as well but it would take a lot of work to find the notes for it.
This song has been bouncing around in my head the last couple of days, so I listened to it. I hadn't heard it in years and had forgotten what a nice song it is. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxSTzSEiZ2c&list=RDzxSTzSEiZ2c&start_radio=1

For some reason I was expecting some kind of classic rock music that the young folk would consider "ancient" but was pleasantly surprised at actual ancient history!

I started watching it this evening and it's wonderful. I haven't really seen anything else from Ken Burns yet as famous as he is, but episode 1 is great. Very moving.
