Food For Thought

In Monmouth's heart, where legends breed, Galfridus wrote of Britain's need. His pen unfurled the epic tale, Of kings and knights, whose deeds prevail. De gestis Britonum, a Latin scroll, Or Historia Regum Britanniae whole. From Brutus' dawn to Arthur's might, He painted Britain's ancient light. In scholarly halls, his words did ring, A tapestry of history's fling. Yet skepticism cast its veil, On tales that Galfridus did unveil. From Merlin's prophecy, to Arthur's quest, Each page with tales of Britain blessed. Though deemed as legend, by some account, His legacy stands, a timeless fount. For in his words, a nation's lore, Breathed life to heroes gone before. De gestis Britonum, a poet's ode, To Britain's past, where legends strode.
