The Castle of the Grail

[@asacraig9876]

When this gets published, you should also record an audio version. There is something magical in hearing the author read his own poems!

[@jeremybryant5778]

agreed

[@araia1906]

Yes! This would be a hit on Spotify.

[@Benjva]

Malcolm that was heart-strainingly beautiful. Lord help my own unbelief

[@stephenwinter5958]

I cannot wait for this to be published. And on Lancelot, I don't expect to get the whole package like Galahad. But I love the encounter with the Emperor Justinian in Dante's Paradiso. Dante asks him if he isn't disappointed not to be in a higher heaven. "Not at all," the great man replies. "I am grateful to be here at all!" I think that I will feel like that. I would be glad to have any vision of God even if it almost killed me like Lancelot.

The train ticket bookmark has got to be the most British thing I’ve ever seen 😂

[@larryjilesjr9358]

Mr. Guite, you have inspired me and changed my life! I thank God for your wisdom and compassion. I’m in Nashville and I can’t wait for this Book to be published so I can read it immediately!!

[@jor_r8769]

Malcolm, I'm currently recovering from my first bout of covid and this lifted my spirits. Appreciate ya.

[@les6186]

a good wish for your recovery. just getting through covid and it's been a trial.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

all the best for a swift recovery

[@spongisaurus8074]

I follow you, Sir, from Italy. You will never know the absolute pleasure there is to watching your content, and the happy musings which follow. Grazie!

[@lindajeancountrymusic]

This would have been magical to read myself.....but to hear you read it brings the magic to life in such a delightful and enchanting way! This was absolutely wonderful!

[@bigal2696]

Every visit to your study is a joy

[@benhubbard7793]

I'll definitely order and read a copy when it's published! Hope there is a hard cover version. I agree with other another commenter that an audio version would be appreciated!

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

thanks, yes when it comes out it will be hardcover and there will be an audio version!

[@JohnRutherford205]

I sincerely hope that this will be published soon. Having followed its progress(and with the upcoming publication of my own, small book), I understand the gargantuan task you have undertaken here, made even larger by your regular engagements and other work. I am grateful that you have updated us on its progress. My favorite part, though, is the joust with the faerie and his "barky skin," such imagery!

[@tomsavage7279WalteroftheSea]

Thank you Malcolm. I pray this is published in order to have such work not only on my shelves but in my hands as i settle back to read. I caught up with your Queens visit through the Wardrobe and this joy immediately afterwards. Best regards, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@sarahburke8955]

Ahhh what a beautiful depiction of witnessing the eternal Mass... thank you.

[@alexislouvet9538]

Absolutely beautiful and completely nailing the mystery of the Grail. Thanks for sharing!

[@asazeel]

I was delighted to see that they found Excalibur, and it was exactly what I expected. Now just a rusty old sword in a box buried deep in the belly of the London museum, with only a number for a name.

[@-Mike-76]

Beautiful.

[@williamwebster7985]

I can’t wait to read this!! I pray this will be published soon!!

[@3riverspiper1792]

Malcolm, you certainly know how to 'create the want', for myself, there were so many messages conveyed on Faith, The Holy Grail, The Holy Mystery, and how 'we' may achieve the answer / reward to everlasting life. 🙏 God Bless, Steve.

[@richardsnow7299]

Appreciate every visit to your delightful study.

[@chrismorin1047]

What beautiful verse. Very much looking forward to its publication. Thank you for sharing these tidbits with us.

[@cynthiaford6976]

That is so totally not fair! Spiritual cliffhanger of cliffhangers! That's all for tonight, lights out kids. Seriously, though, utterly incantatory.

[@albania2445]

Very good! Grail lore is always appreciated.

[@malcolmhart1795]

What a journey! What beautiful heart-expanding love! What a treat! Thank you from another Malcolm.

[@zita-lein]

Oh my gosh! Reads like a spiritual thriller! When it comes out, I shall endeavor to obtain a signed copy. ❤️💙

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

thanks for the encouragement!

[@frogmorepipester7490]

Jolly Good. Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry.

[@Nighttrainpiper]

You have characterized Lancelot in such a deeply respectful way, I very much appreciate it and look forward to reading the tale one day.

[@aaronball9815]

Great video brother!! May God bless you in Christ!

[@doorntreader7624]

Most enjoyable, thank you. Dim reminders of Coleridge & Macaulay running through the work and a wonderful rhythm of ideas & metre.

[@JB-zo7ln]

If only my literature professors at university would have been like you....not to say I had a rough go of it, but certainly was not as enjoyable as these experiences with you and your videos. Thank you, Malcolm.

[@jeremybryant5778]

beautiful work

[@carlburnett9199]

Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see the published work.

[@Samw1seGamegee]

Amazing. thank you for sharing. looking forward to seeing it in print. and agreed with comments here that you need to record an audio version of the final product.

[@torquersmalls2680]

That was quite lovely Malcom, and more than worthy of acid free and the best of Blake's attentions. But poor Lance! It seems all quite 'whirlwind and Job' for him at the moment, whichever door he chooses.

[@kaidoloveboat1591]

Hopefully we'll see it published next year!

[@elliejohnson2633]

Thank you so much Malcolm -- having been missing your Grail words. Published some time next year -- that's wonderful !!!Congratulations !

[@yusufsayed1583]

Good Morning 😊Awesome video👌🏽 Will wait for the read 📃📃 Thanks for sharing 👏🏼 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@greyfeather7857]

That was beautiful and very moving,I look forward to the day it is published in full. Thankyou for the opportunity to hear you read this aloud 🙏🏻

[@SouthAlabamaPiper]

This was beautiful, can’t wait to hear more. Thanks

[@MichaelSmith-ys4ki]

Malcolm, what a fantastic episode. We are all excited for the publication of your Grail poems. I was watching on our tv and listening to your reading when my wife entered the room. She said it was beautiful and asked me if it was Tennyson I was listening to you read. I told her, no, it was your own poem. She then simply said, “Wow, wow, wow!” :-)

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Many thanks, I would be honoured even to be mentioned in the same breath as Tennyson!

[@adiw888]

I cant wait for this to be published.

[@bogbel1]

Absolutely brilliant! Mesmerizing poetry Malcolm, you're supremely talented.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Thanks for listening

[@davidknox5929]

Beautiful Malcolm.Thx.

[@tomaria100]

Thank you, Poet Martin!

[@conservativejoe4025]

I am intrigued! Do keep us up to date on your progress.

[@johnbradshaw5097]

Well; I enjoyed listening to that!

[@adriagutierrez5616]

Thank you, Malcolm 😘

[@stefsomful]

Just lovely!!!

[@richqualls5157]

I would like you to consider reading to us Marcel Proust short stories.

[@shaungissing8953]

Wonderful

[@PilgrimMission]

Beautiful thank you.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Thanks for listening

[@StDavidpipes]

Enjoyed it.

[@stevenlight5006]

Well done

[@johnthomas1221]

Malcolm, Thank you - The love for our Lord this seems to inspire on the receiving end of the excerpt you read is unbearable. Such mystery.

[@aaronball9815]

What blend are you smoking this blessed day if I may inquire brother?

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

A mix of Cavendish and Virginia

[@pipegrump]

Well done!

[@sharilewis4533]

Hi it's such a treat to hear you again. I can't wait to possibly read your poems when it's all done and I think it would be a good thing if you could record it and we could hear it in your voice. Oh oh by the way my husband wants to know what type of tobacco you smoke in your Peterson pipe?

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Thanks, I smoke either Kendal Black Cherry or Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls

[@stevenkimsey7039]

Makes me light up a pipe. C&D Autumn Evening

[@NY_Mountain_Man]

I can't really say I'm religious anymore to truly appreciate the story. However, I can appreciate the continuation of the Arthurian legend genre. Truthfully, when I read King Arthur, all I picked on was the massive politics and games him and lady Guinevere were playing with each other. (despite all the people dying because of it.)

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

ah that political stuff is a later overlay and not the real story

[@NY_Mountain_Man]

@@MalcolmGuitespell The macro-political stuff, yes. However, the disguised open marriage stuff between Arthur and Guinevere was certainly there unless you're distinguishing between 19th century translations. And if you tell me they didn't have an open marriage, I have a bridge to sell you. Hehe.

[@tombroughton6757]

I have two questions. 1. After listening to this episode of “A Spell in the Library,” it sounds like you believe in the Real Presence. Is that correct? 2. Do you believe that the real Holy Grail is located in the Cathedral of Valencia in Spain?

[@LexHawthorne]

Mr. Guite, Would you do all of us the honor of reading through the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings? Perhaps just a chapter a week. Thank you for your contribution to God's Kingdom and continue to charge further up and further in.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

I'd quite like to read some longer extracts but not sure on the copyright implications!

[@LexHawthorne]

@@MalcolmGuitespell I will reach out and see if I can get permission for you to read through said books. I added your four seasons poetry book to my Christmas wish list. I look forward to reading some of your poetry. Maybe in an upcoming video you could walk us through your process of writing poetry. Cheers!

[@paulthepiper4602]

The holy grail most think a cup a chalice a small box and within the key to the universe and all questions answered. But what if the grail was the pattern of all the pirimids joint together by way of drawing lines like a picture
