“Then Arthur said to Galahad,
‘Sir, you are not alone.
I too stood, with my life unmade,
and set my hand to hilt and blade.
I know the burden on us laid,
who draw a sword from stone!’”
.
The sword of the ill-fated knight Balyn appears at Camelot years after Merlin set it afloat in a red marble stone. Galahad and King Arthur look on, knowing this marks the beginning of a curse-reversing journey.

from STAVE III
But as they entered Arthur's hall
they saw a sudden change:
the great round table Merlin wrought
and patterned with his deepest thought
to be the heart of Arthur's court
was set with letters strange!
The one untaken seat, the siege
called "perilous" of old,
was set about with strange new words
written in shining gold!
