"Comfort thyself," said the king, "for in me is no further help; for I will to the Isle of Avalon, to heal me of my grievous wound."
Thomas Bulfinch The Age of Chivalry * * * *The agony of the wound unmanned him, but he must not cry out. A king should not die wailing like a child. He ground his teeth against the pain and tensed his throat to block the sounds of anguish which threatened to tear through him with every jolt of the litter upon which he lay dying. They were carrying him somewhere. Away from the battlefield. Away from the ruins of all their dreams. Away from the bitter destiny of all he had wrought with his life. His bastard-born, incestuous, cuckolded life. "Ca--Car--Carr--" Carry me away. "Sire..." He heard doubt and weakness in the voice. "Lucan?" he asked vaguely. Carrying his litter? No, surely not. Lucan had been wounded. He was sure he remembered that. Were his troops so decimated that a wounded man must carry the king's litter?
