Perceval, following their direction, arrives at the hermitage of his uncle, confesses and receives absolution. Of his further fate we learn nothing; the lovely tale was never completed, nor is it now possible to conjecture the intent of the poet. We may believe that the hero was designed once more to visit the infirm kinsman whom he was destined to relieve, and be restored to the arms of...
