Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Parsifal Heard in Wales

These hundred hills, companioning my way,
Now beckon me to some serene domain.
Green meadows flow to tops of green again,
Caught in that tide the island fir-trees sway.
Mingling, the white and reddening flowers of May,
Fresh from the hushing fall of thunder-rain,
Make myriad posies in each winding lane;
Far up alluring vales soft fountains play.

O healing land, where noise and strivings cease!
A momentary respite here is found
For some Amfortas bleeding from his wound,
And on each rising knoll the Grail's own peace.
Pealing within my soul again I hear
The holy chant of blameless knights draw near.
   Llanfyllin.
